Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs
In his nightgown.
Rapping at the windows,
Crying through the lock,
"Are the children all in bed?
For it's now eight o'clock.
Public Servant or Suck up? And why do you suppose he was so worried about it?

Never really thought about it.
Shoot, now I have to wonder about why Humpty Dumpty was sitting on the wall, why the mouse ran up the clock, and why that spider felt it necessary to frighten that poor little girl who was enjoying her dinner while sitting on a tuffet....
Hmmm, nope, can't be bothered. I'll say he was a public servant trying to prevent all the children from being out on the streets at absurdly late times...could have done with him on my street when I was growing up, the amount of times I was disturbed by the next-door neighbour's 10 year old playing outside loudly with his friends at 10 at night was beyond belief!

Wee Willie Winkie
The origin of the Wee Willie Winkie rhyme
The explanation of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was to teach children to associate every day tasks with their own lives. Before the days of the wireless, television and the Internet great reliance was put upon the Town Crier to pass on the latest news and information. 'Wee Willie Winkie' was the children's version of the Town Crier! The author of the poem was William Miller (1810 - 1872) and the first publication date of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was in 1841

I think the bigger cause for concern here is why he was running around outside at night dressed only in his nightgown. Something is clearly wrong with this picture.
