]]> I’ve noticed most nursery rhymes the male character is "jack", aka jack be nimble jack be quick, little jack horner, sailing sailing over the bounding main, when many a storm has tossed & blown & jack comes home again, jack & jill, jack & the beanstalk, jack sprat…point in question…why did they all turn out to be ‘jack’? Where & why did this commonicity start? Is it some sort of theme? thanks if u can help.
