- In this game all sat around the fire and put their feet forward. The person with a stick started the rime. "Lú-lá-lim-lock, five miles at ten o'clock,
I sat, I sung, I daily sprung,
a very wild deer came in to-day,
to live in the wood,
from Ballinamore, to Ballinasloe,
I met a white dog on the mountain route,
for that same reason, pull in that foot."
While saying the first word he tipped the first foot and so on, until all feet were pulled in but one. That foot was slapped three times with the rod.
