For Deborah M. - Eena deena
Eena, deena, dina, duss,
Katla, weena, wina, wuss,
Spit, spot, must be done,
Twiddlum, twaddlum, twenty-one,
O U T spells out!
reminds me of the choosing rhyme we used when I was little:
Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a tiger by the toe
If it hollers let it go
Eenie meenie minie mo.
We used it with the potato counting hand-gestures and the final mo had to put that hand behind his/her back.
