Then

As I was going to St. Ives,

I met a man with seven wives;

Each wife had seven sacks,

Each sack had seven cats,

Each cat had seven kits;

Kits, cats, sacks, wives,

How many were there going to St.Ives?

                Now

As I was writing to St. Nick

On my PC, I was asked to pick

My choice amongst seven drives

Each drive had seven tracks,

Each track needed seven kits,

It’s kits and tracks and drives to pick,

Is this a memory trick, St. Nick?
