You're right many of our lullabies were very scary and we all survived. I am not sure we're doing children a service by keeping them all protected. Thank you for sharing this poem and the presentation with us.

This really is a horror lullaby! I really enjoyed those Spanish words enriching the sentiments and adding to the drama. Well done, Gypsy. Take care Debbie

Comment from RJ Heritage
Intriguing, but interesting story of lullabies. I am very familiar with El Coco, and Dorothea, which comes from my wife's culture. Well explained and presented.
As a child I had terrible nightmares, and there were many cultural stories floating around, and I survived them all...Lol.

Oh dear! That's not a great way to get anyone to sleep. Fear is not a very good motivation to get someone to sleep. It has to be something soothing or at least boring!

Comment from Julie Helms
You know the same phenomena occurred with Grimm's fairytales. A little girl almost eaten by wolves, siblings almost eaten by a witch, etc. Stepmothers galore hurting their children. They all have a ghastly aspect to them.
I think it is a more recent part of our society to coddle/protect young children instead of terrifying them (scared straight? I don't know.)
Anyway, this is a well-done (and obviously thought-provoking) poem.
I enjoyed it!

Thank you very much. Grimm's fairytales were scary, you are right. Even Disney have Pinocchio eaten by a whale and boys turning into donkeys.... lol
Thank you very much 😊

Okay, how is someone supposed to sleep soundly with this lullaby? I would be scared to death to close my eyes if my mother would had sang that to me, lol. What country are you from?
