Subject: RE: 7 Thousand Macedonians in Full Battle Array
"One Hen, Two Ducks"
One Hen, Two Ducks

This is a repeat after me song
Are you ready?
All right!
Here we go!

Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises

Six pairs of Don Alverso's tweezers

Seven thousand Macedonians in full dress battle array

Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt

Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a
marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
Ten Conical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul,
stall around the corner of the quo, of the quay, of the quivey
all at the same time!-->

One hen.
One hen, two ducks.
One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese.
One hen . . . four limerick  oysters.
One hen . . . five corpulent porpoises.
One hen . . . six pairs of Don El Verzo's tweezers.
One hen . . . seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array.
One hen . . . eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt.
One hen . . . nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic  old men on
roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth.
One hen . . . ten  Conical, spherical,  diabolical denizens of the
deep who haul squall around the corner of the quo, of the quay, 
with a quiver all at the same time.

Alternatively (not from down under (I think)) is the following,
"based on some sort of radio broadcaster's test and it goes up to,
so I have heard-21 or so"

One hen . . . ten   lyrical, spereical, dyibolical denons of the
deep who haul stall and fall around the quo, quivy and qay
One hen . . . eleven neutramatic synsthesizing systems owned by the
seriously cybernetic marketing division shipped via relatavistic space
flight through the draconian sector seven.

 

Another Version

One hen.
Two ducks.
Three squaking geese .
Four limerick oysters.
Five golden rings.
Six pairs of Don Alverzo's favorite tweezers.
Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array.
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient, sacred,
secret crypts of Egypt.
Nine apathetic, sympathetic diabetic old men on
roller skates with a marked propensity towards
procrastination and sloth.

Ten spherical, lyrical diabolical demons of the
deep who consistently quiver on the quarry
of the key constantly.

Sung as a "Repeat after me" chant.
Leader chants one line and the group repeats it
