So, what's going on with all the poems and nursury rhymes that started showing up in Doctor Who?
"A Good Man Goes to War".... "Tick Tock goes the Clock"
Has this been a long, on going thing, or something that Moffat has just dreamed up to be cryptic?

I think he just really likes fairytale/nursery rhyme symbolism.

And presented the right way, you can create a sort of creepy effect without having to work at it very hard. That's always a plus, if a creepy effect is what you're looking for.

Has this ever reared its head in DW before?

Probably. I can't think of any specific instances at the moment though.
Does Three singing Venusian lullabys count? XD

There's the nursery rhyme in Zagreus, but that's extended universe so I don't know if it counts.:
Zagreus sits inside your head Zagreus lives among the dead Zagreus sees you in your bed And eats you when you're sleeping
Zagreus at the end of days Zagreus lies all other ways Zagreus comes when time's a maze And all of history's weeping
Zagreus taking time apart. Zagreus fears the hero heart. Zagreus seeks the final part. The reward that he is reaping.
Zagreus sings when all is lost Zagreus takes all those he's crossed Zagreus wins and all is cost The hero's hearts he's keeping.
Zagreus seeks the hero's ship Zagreus needs the web to rip Zagreus sups time at a drip And life aside, he's sweeping.

Ah, that's probably what I was thinking of. I think there's some other mentions of them in the edas too.
