| Mother Goose
Some of our beloved Mother Goose rhymes were often considered controversial and as early as 1641 there were recorded protests that the "Mother Goose" rhymes were unfit for children's ears.

The epitaph on this t shirt reads "every perfect person owns just two hundred and six bones" |
