Eenie, meenie, miney, moe,

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe,
If he hollers, let him go,
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe

I am not sure if grabbing it by the tail would do any good but a good kick up the backside with a 17pdr might do the trick!

Versions of the children’s rhyme have existed since before 1820. But, some folklorists propose it goes back much further, suggesting that counting-out rhymes like Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe originate from Ancient Celtic rituals of sorting out who would be chosen to die as a punishment or, perhaps, a sacrifice. In this theory, the words Eenie, meenie, miney, moe are thought to come from the Celtic words for the numbers “one, two, three, four.”

I will gradually work through the German vehicles I have to support my Fallschirmjaeger.

  1. eins, zwei, drei, vier
    Fangen Sie einen Sherman auf offener StraßeFangen Sie einen Sherman auf offener Straße
    Sprengt ihn in die Höhe
    eins, zwei, drei, vier!

    What a lovely little Tiger! And the secret number!
