Rhyme time

Woopsy daisy I've been so lazy.


I guess 35 days turned into...35 and a few more?

I realised the other day that I actually don't know all the words to Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo...which brings us to today's post.

Come decision time, I'll chant:
Eenie, meenie, miney, mo, catch a tiger by the toe, hmmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmmmm, EENIE, MEENIE, MINEY, MO!

Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo

Eenie, meeiey, miney, mo,

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers let him go,

Eenie, meenie, miney, mo.

During my very deep and meaningful learning experience I also found these other versions...

In the US of A some say:

Eenie, meenie, miny moe,

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers make him pay,

Fifty dollars every day.

 

Ohh and there's this mini one too::

Eenie meenie miny mo
Please sit down it's time to go

Over in the UK however:

 

Eeenie, meenie, miney, mo.

Put the baby on the po.

When he's done,

Wipe his bum.

And tell his mother what he's done

 

By the way #1.
I put this question to you: how would you spell 'Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo '?

By the way #2.
I'm guessing a 'po' is some sort of device to hold excrement?

Hopefully, after reading this post, the next time you chant Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo you won't stop at "catch a tiger by the toe".

Quite the insightful post today ey?
