BUBBLEGUM TAG RHYME

BUBBLEGUM, BUBBLEGUM,
IN A DISH,
HOW MANY PIECES DO YOU WISH?

Submitter comment: THIS IS ANOTHER RHYME TO CHOOSE WHO WILL BE "IT." THE "KING-
SAYER" POINTS TO A PERSON ON EACH WORD--WHOEVER THEY
POINTED TO ON THE LAST WORD MUST CHOOSE A NUMBER. THEN THE
"KING-SAYER" SPELLED THE NUMBER AND WHOEVER THEY ENDED UP
POINTING TO WOULD NOT BE IT.
