I find the history of this poem very intriguing. It about the repeptive day to day actions and the feeling of gong round in circles. It based on the life of female prisoners at HMS Wakefield Prison and their life in imprisonement.
I found the repetitive nature of this poem, of doing the same thing every day quite apt to the challenge of coronavirus today. I like the fact I can take these old nursery rhymes, which history has been forgotten into a more modern setting.
