There was a recurring sketch on SNL in the past few (four?) years about this exact trope. I don't watch every time it's on so I couldn't tell you the name of the actor or what it's called.

How does it fit with your anachronisms that the rhyme was written in: 2018? The author creates bits of lore for a fictional world as a writing exercise and to expand their fantasy world.

Well then, I suppose it doesn't fit into the realm of an anachronism then, and considering that I had assumed this rhyme that young British girls supposedly recited while jumping rope dated from decades past.

(...guess the needlepoint had given me the wrong idea here)

I will atone by posting an image of a needlepoint which carries a true message:
