EENY, MEANY, MINEY MOE,
CATCH A PIGGY BY THE TOE,
IF HE HOLLERS LET HIM GO.
EENY, MEANY, MINY, MOE,
MY MOTHER TOLD ME TO,
CHOOSE THE VERY BEST ONE,
AND Y-O-U SPELLS "YOU"
AND OUT YOU GO.

Submitter comment: THIS IS USUALLY RECITED WHEN TRYING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO CHOICES,
WHILE POINTING TO EACH ON ALTERNATE WORDS.
