One potato, two potato, three potato, four….
Oh, you do remember—that’s what memories are for.
How about this oldie—On your mark, get ready, Go!
These alone were part of all the things which helped you grow.
Also, this: One hundred, ready or not, here I come!
You may not remember all, but, surely, at least some.
Surely you’ll recall the one which had you in a whirl—
In a common foot race, being beaten by a girl!
