Eenie meenie miney moe, Catch a tiger by the toe, If he squeals, let him go, Eenie meenie miney moe. --Primary School selection rhyme
	This rhyme originates from Victorian England at around the middle of the 19th Century. Windsor zoo had fallen on hard times and the wealthy aristocratic patrons were too tight with their money to help pay for it's up-keep. Food was the hardest thing to buy for the animals, because as more people moved into the cities there was less and less of it being produced and the new working class were buying it all. Fortunately the zoo's owner, Moe, found a solution to the problem that would satisfy everyone. The zoo's carnivorous animals were let loose on the London slums. The carnivores were able to eat the working class, London became slightly less crowded and the wealthy British patrons enjoyed the excitement so much that they started to donate more money to the zoo. All good things must come to an end, eventually the selfish British working class started to defend their homes and families by placing traps that aimed to string carnivore’s upside-down by their toes. The police would eventually hear the animals screaming in pain and would come to their rescue. The nursery rhyme started being used by children to remind themselves to be careful of that meaney Moe’s man-eating tigers. Incidentally, the government eventually passed a law banning zookeepers from feeding working class people to their animals directly after World War II. --Fred Smith
