Warm-Ups: the Hopkins Edition
Two 'til Two
What it to do to die today, at a minute or two 'til two;
a thing distinctly hard to say, yet harder still to do.
To beat a tattoo, at a quarter to two,
a rat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tattoo.
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum,
at a minute or two 'til two today, at a minute or two 'til two.
One Hen
One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises
Six pairs of Don Alversos tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the secret sacred crypts of ancient Egypt
Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
Annnnnnnnd, ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who queue around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivering, all at the same time!
Bad *ss motherf*ckers, C*CK!
