COUNTING OUT RHYME

EENIE MEENIE MINIE MO. CATCH A TIGER BY THE TOE.
IF HE HOLLERS LET HIM GO. EENIE MEENIE MINIE MO.

Submitter comment: THE PERSON WHOM THE WORD MO IS SAID TO IS OUT. WHEN MARY TOLD ME
THIS RHYME SHE SAID THAT INSTEAD OF THE WORD TIGER THEY SOMETIMES
SAID THE WORD NIGGER. THIS WOULD BE A VARIATION.
