Another classic:
Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
He called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three

Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money.
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes.
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose!
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds

Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said ‘What a good boy am I.

This is a very interesting exercise in memory recall. If you would have asked me a few days ago to come up with five different nursery rhymes from memory I seriously doubt that I could have done it.
But after bringing back one of them others seem to just automatically pop into my mind. I'm not even trying to recall them. They just pop up. Very interesting.
It's like the mind has a mind of its own.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horse and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
