one-gun, two-shoe, three-tree, four-door, five-hive, six-sticks, seven-heaven, eight-gate, nine-fine, ten-hen.
These have been told to me as a means of recalling in order of things to speak to. One-gun being used to relate something (maybe silly) in some way the order of things to be done or spoken of. Two, think of a shoe and somehow relate shoe to the task such as "If I'm going to walk to town just mentally put "shoe" on your mental list of things to do. "Three-tree" might fit a task that somehow includes a branch or something. "Four", somehow arrange the image of something that needs attention to look like a door, that you might walk through. etc. etc.
And "he played knick-knack on my drum", 'way befor Kermit.
