Nursery Rhymes

We have a very old nursery rhyme book (copyright 1959) that has been passed down to us. There is one rhyme in the book that makes me wonder why this nursery rhyme was ever popular. Here it is...

Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders,
Warming her pretty little toes!
Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her little daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes.

It just makes me laugh because nothing like this would ever be acceptable now a days!
