Little Jack Horner

Little Jack Horner is a nursery rhyme about a child named Jack Horner. It was written by someone using the pen name Mother Goose. It goes 

“
Little Jack Horner, Sat in a Corner,
Eating a Christmas pie, He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plumb
And said “what a good boy am I”. 

It was written in the 18th Century and since then people complained about it saying that it supported greed and wrote versions of it where Jack shared the pie instead. The villain of the movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was an adult version of Jack Horner.
