Nursery rhyme

One, two, three

I play with thee

Four, five, six

There's nothing to fix

Seven, eight, nine

Just be genuine 

Ten, eleven, twelve

Are you afraid to delve ?

What is more innocuous

Than a nursery rhyme

To help a child to count?

So tell me why

You're sobbing on my shoulder

All of a sudden?

One, two, three

I had to flee

Four, five, six

Check the appendix

Seven, eight, nine

It's time to dine

Ten, eleven, twelve

Here is the axe helve.
