NURSERY rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock has been given a trigger warning after almost 300 years — as a cat chases a mouse.
The latest woke madness is being spouted by bosses running a puppet show based on the children’s poem, first published in 1744.
They warn over-protective parents bringing tots to the production of a “scene with some tension where a cat chases a mouse”.
It is being performed by Garlic Theatre for kids as young as three at Little Angel Theatre, Islington, North London, in August.
Tim Scott, of the Freedom Association, said: “In the latest example of trigger madness, we now find beloved children’s nursery rhymes are the target.
“Certain adults seem determined to inflict their nonsense on children, who have coped perfectly well for generations with these educational rhymes.
“You do have to wonder what might be next?”
It comes after a theatre production of the kids’ classic Three Little Pigs was slammed for slapping on a trigger warning because the dad gets eaten by the Big Bad Wolf.
The work of children’s author Roald Dahl has also been given cautions, due to “racist and sexist stereotypes, anti-Semitism, and the use of derogatory language”.
Garlic Theatre was asked to comment.
