One hen...

A poem of sorts I remembered from my childhood. I found this article on it: Announcer's Test

  • One hen
  • Two ducks
  • Three squawking geese
  • Four limerick oysters
  • Five corpulent porpoises
  • Six pairs of Don Alverzo's tweezers
  • Seven Thousand Macedonians in full battle array
  • Eight Brass Monkeys from the ancient, sacred crypts of Egypt
  • Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth
  • Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul stall around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivery, and all at the same time
