I believe the answer is:

georgie porgie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'children's rhyme' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'ogre i repeated messed with peg' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'ogre' is 'geor' which is present in the answer.
'i' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'peg' is 'gep' which is within the left over letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
