Could someone link or at least mention the source of this rhyme to Richard Cromwell? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.182.71.135 ( talk) 12:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Isn't this rhyme a limerick? The meter certainly matches. Meeve 09:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Any one knows the author of "hickory dickory dock" nursery rhymes —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.78.217.176 ( talk) 06:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC).
I've been to Exeter, England, and the old clock in the Exeter town square was claimed to be the original Hickory Dickory dock clock (I think it said it next to the clock). Does anyone have proof of this, at least the claim of it? I have a picture of the clock, but not the plaque or anything. - IG-64 08:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I always knew this song as having the following melody:
E-F-G-F-E-D-E
E-E-G-F-D-E
E-E-E-G
G-F-F-A
G-A-G-F-E-D-C
What is the other melody?? Georgia guy ( talk) 23:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
"And down the mouse run", except we pronounce the "and" more like a brief "un". See line here: http://www.archive.org/stream/mothergooseschim00philiala#page/26/mode/2up 14 November 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.242.215 ( talk) 14:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Add to Contents New lyrics: Hickory, dickory, dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, and down it come, Hickory, dickory, dock New meaning: The mouse in this version represents the computer input device and the clock represents time. Mindy Scott is currently writing The New Babel as a free e-book called “Suddenly in Sanity” on the MINDOLOGY LIVE web site (WWW.MINDOLOGY.US). In it she suggests that the entire universe was created with virtual reality technology and that a huge transformation for the better is about to occur. The words “and down it come” refer to the lies and misinformation we have been living with for the past 44 years. Mindy Scott ( talk) 13:22, 1 November 2014 (UTC) Mindy Scott

I am skeptical that "the octagon ran down" and "the clock struck zero" appear in any version of the rhyme, let alone the most common modern version. Did I have a very deprived childhood, or is that something that needs to be fixed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.239.12 ( talk) 15:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Is there any reliable evidence for a reputed second verse: "Dickory, dickory, dare, The pig flew up in the air. The man in brown, Soon brought him down, Dickory, dickory, dare" and for the reputed connection with Richard Cromwell? See, for example, this blog. Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
@ Rusf10: the Andrew Dice Clay version is insignificant to this article. Verifiability is the threshold for inclusion, but it does not guarantee inclusion. This article is about the centuries-old English nursery rhyme, not every variant of it you can find on youtube. And not censored means that material should not be deleted for the sole offense of being vulgar or offensive, but that does not mean that vulgar or offensive material gets a pass on every other standard.
