Remember the long drawn out processes undertaken in order to decide who would be "on" in a game of , say, hide and seek?

For example,

"My mother says your shoes are dirty. Please go home and change them".

"One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more".

"Ip, dip, dip, my blue ship. Sailing on the water like a cup and saucer. Ip, dip, dip, you are not it".

I'm sure there are loads of others I've forgotten.

Ickle, ockle, chocolate bockle.
Ickle, ockle OUT.

i remember the potato one

Sizz you are so right, one potato two potato three potato mo, and mo was the one that was out, could be something to do with the irish potato famine?
