Mr. Tell's Summation

Written by Mr. Wilhelm Tell

One hen

Two ducks

Three squawking geese

Four limerick oysters

Five corpulent porpoises

Six pairs of Aunt Tillie's tweezers

Seven thousand marching Macedonians dressed in full battle array

Eight brass monkeys from the ancient, sacred, holy crypts of Egypt

Nine symphathetic, apathetic, diabetic old men on rollerskates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth

Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep, who like to haul and stall around the quo of the quay of the quivy all at the same time.
