  1. This is another game. One of the children around says one of these words on each foot. “Lurabug Larabug lumber loch, five mile upon the clock, a sat, a sum, a daily bum, Miss Mc Glone, go to the wood and write down, pickedy pachedy, poison.” Whatever foot the last word is said on it is out of the game.
