The Eenie-Meenie Of It All

An early morning conversation with my brother John:
"Hellody?"
"So I was setting up for Halloween..."
"Of course, you were."
"And out of nowhere I thought of that thing Mom taught us how to say it when we were kids. Remember?"
"Give me a hint."
"Eenie meenie..."
"Oh, yeah."
"Deza-meenie..."
"Deza-meenie?"
"Oooh walla oooh walla meenie..."
"There's a solla-meenie in there."
"Ex-a-meenie, solla-meenie... ooh wah ooh wah... bee billy oat'n doat'n... bee bopp'n ditt'n datt'n... shhhh - ahhh."
"Wow, I can't believe you remember all that."
"I can't believe you don't."
