Rinky, dinky, doo.
Your toe is in your shoe.
Your tongue is in your mouth
And your teeth are in there, too.

Honky, tonky, ten.
A rooster is a male hen.
A girl is a female boy,
That is, till they start over again.

This is cute the way you tell this. But there is a message here, if only people can actually see it. Even though the wording here is a facetious attempt at lossening up, there is still a serious side to the words. Thank you for sharing.

Telling it like it is. A jingle of words that are fun to red and thought of by you only, noone copied you in any way.
