We didn't modify the rhyme like you, but we used it to the same purpose. Each kid would put both fists into the ring. The counter would count with one fist tapping each kid's fist in turn, and when he came to the missing spot (for the fist he's using to count), he'd tap his own chin.
Aside from the one potato two potato mentioned in the article, the only subsequent rhyme that I can recall started out something like Engine engine number nine...
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoSame, but "Racing car number 9, losing petrol all the time, how many miles did he go?" but we didn't put "spuds in" for that, just pointed. The person on "go" would say a number, you'd count on to find the person who was out, it, or whatever.
- ksenzee 9y agoEngine engine number nine, going down Chicago line. If the train should jump the track, do you want your money back? Y-E-S spells yes [N-O spells NO] and you are not it! (1980s, south of Seattle)
