    10 little contractors

    For the sake of the rhymes....

    Ten little contractors went out to dine;
    One choked his little self and then there were Nine.

    Nine little contractors sat up very late;
    One overslept himself and then there were Eight.

    Eight little contractors traveling in Devon;
    One said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.

    Seven little contractors chopping up sticks;
    One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six.

    Six little contractors playing with a hive;
    A bumblebee stung one and then there were Five.

    Five little contractors going in for law;
    One got into Chancery and then there were Four.

    Four little contractors going out to sea;
    A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three.

    Three little contractors walking in the zoo;
    A big bear hugged one and then there were Two.

    Two little contractors were out in the sun;
    One got all frizzled up and then there was one.
    One little contractor left all alone;
    He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      From a logic point of view, sasguru would be one of the last three so should appear in the last 3 statement. Entirely conceivable that he swallowed himself though...

          I've never been flexible enough to try.

                  Bleach, but you are coming (ho ho ho) at this wrong - that isn't what I meant.

                  I meant we have all tried to get our members in our mouths.



                  I'm not on about tasting your own bollockyoghurt. That will be another post. Probably.
