Lede

Removed most of the first paragraph since it just paraphrased the poem. --Tocharianne 18:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Crooked sixpence

In verse "He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile" I think that the crooked sixpence refers to a discarded, bender love token. --Chris Buttigieg 17:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The Wolf Among Us" video game

Removed a lot of the details regarding his role in The Wolf Among Us. TWAU plot details belong on TWAU pages. --PlayAVideoGame (talk) 02:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs a section about contemporary cultural references to this 1800s rhyme. It seems like Crooked Man is featured in TWAU and should be mentioned somehow in this article. -71.174.188.32 (talk) 15:19, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

pronounced as 'crookED'

www.rhymes.org.uk/there_was_a-crooked_man.htm

  The word crooked is pronounced as 'crookED' the emphasis being placed upon the 'ED' in the word. This was common in olde England and many references can be found in this type of pronunciation in the works of William Shakespeare (1564-1616).
