One,  two, buckle my shoe,
    Three, four, open the door,
    Five, six, pick up sticks,
    Seven, eight, lay them straight,
    Nine, ten, a good fat hen,
    Eleven, twelve, dig and delve,
    Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting,
    Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen;
    Seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting
    Nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty.
