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!
