Subject: Counting Cadence...
I've heard some ribald army dittys along this line, but I'm trying to remember one my mother taught me...I think she said it came from WW1. I've reconstructed as much as I can remember but it bothers me that the left foot is shorter than the right one, so to speak. Does this ring a bell with anybody?
