ONE hen
TWO ducks
THREE squawking geese
FOUR limerick oysters
FIVE corpulent porpoises
SIX pairs of Don El Vera's tweezers
SEVEN thousand Macedonian soldiers dressed in full battle array
EIGHT golden monkeys from the sacred crypts of Egypt
NINE sympathetic apathetic diabetic old men on rollerskates bent towards procrastination and sloth
TEN ticklish tom turkeys sipping iced vinegar and water, listening to Stanley Turrentine on their rickety front stoop.
