Does anyone remember that rhyme from school/markfiends house?

First the worst
second the best
Third the hairy princess
Fouth the golden Eagle
Fifth the shepherds pie???

What was the rest? It just popped into my head a few mins ago and it's bugging me what the rest of it was.

Fanks.

nope. never heard of it.

i DO remember "1st one smelt it, 2nd one dealt it" though

Yeah. lol

and...

whoever said the rhyme, did the crime.

What are you on? Is it like this?

One for sorrow, two for joy,
Three for a girl, four for a boy,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret never been told.

That's magpies you dillon.

I'm on about kids in a queue (us lot used to run to get in the queue first for dinner/hometime etc....But you being a geek, you were probably dragged out of class.....

Mr Fiend, "Ok, I'll go home, but only if you give me realyy hard homework")

amgpies? WTF are amgpies?

*Runs away very very fast*

I've already edited it <tuts>

It's still a counting rhyme. And no, not one I've ever heard of. (And I'm ignoring the homework crack. Except to say that I once had a school report saying "Mark will fail English Lit. 'O'-level if he is really determined to do so." )

No idea. Used to do tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor etc with prune stones at primary school. Don't know wtf for though.

Just 'cause you and the Quiffster haven't heard of it, doesn't mean no-one else has ever. Give it time.............

I'm not talking about in the days of yore(sp?) when shorts were compulsory.

I remember a rhyme that went

"first the worst
second the best
third the one with the hairy chest"
further counting than three is beyond my recollection.

That's the one we had at my school too. Anything beyond three could be squabbled about for hours on end.
