BLUE BELLS

"BLUE BELLS, COCKLE SHELLS, EAVY, IVY, OVER. HERE COMES THE LADY
WITH THE BIG FAT STICK, NOW IT'S TIME FOR ARTIHMETIC. ONE AND ONE
IS TWO, TWO AND TWO IS FOUR, NOW IT'S TIME FOR GEOGRAPHY. THE WORLD
TURNS ROUND, ROUND, TILL IT TOUCHES THE GROUND.

Submitter comment: THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE JUMP-ROPE RHYMES.
