One, two,
Buckle my shoe;
Something of a different brew.
Three, four,
Knock at the door;
Playing with words galore.
–
Five, six,
Pick up sticks;
Poems and stories intermix.
–
Seven, eight,
Lay them straight:
Special meanings they create.
–
Nine, ten,
A big fat hen;
Tapping keys and moving pen.
–
Eleven, twelve,
Dig and delve;
Imaginings to note and shelve.
–
Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids a-courting;
Ideas and thoughts assorting.
–
Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids in the kitchen;
That’s what such lines are rich in.
–
Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids a-waiting;
Tale and verse generating.
–
Nineteen, twenty,
My plate’s empty;
Stop now; that is plenty!
