Subject: RE: Lyr: 7 Thousand Macedonians in Full Battle Array
As I get older my memory is not what it was, but I do remember at the age of 21 in 1961 in Montreal competing in the family circle, and what I can remember of it - (but with a little prompting might remember more) is this:

A good fat hen
Two ducks
Three plump partridges
Four sqawking wild geese
Five hundred Limerick oysters
Six?
Seven?
Eight? flying flat bottomed mudscows bound from the straits of Peleponese, thence south(?!) to Alaska
Nine?
Ten?
Eleven?
Twelve prestidigators and twelve prestidigitatoesses stting in a circle giving thanks to God that this memory test is over.
