Eeny, Meeny, Miny Moe
A choosing rhyme…
Eeny, Meeny, Miny Moe
Counting-Out Rhyme
Eeny, meeny, miny moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he squeals, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny moe.
Pig snout you're out.
Notes
Norman Preston wrote regarding using the term "It" in tag games, "As a New Zealand septuagenarian all I ever heard as a child was that the tagged person was 'he'. But probably 40 years ago or more all our children began to say 'it'. And that seems to be the rule, though one of our grandchildren simply calls out 'tag' which seems to be all that's needed. Cheers, Norman."
