There's more than one way to skin a cat or pin the tail on a donkey which is good to know when you're playing musical chairs.
kids and games with happy faces somewhere in places I can't recall
but names I knew so well,
Barry and Robert, Rodney and Lawrence, Ilsa and Julie and Jackie, and now racking my brains for more names, they will come when I remember.

And apples, one a day to keep the doctor away
I scrumped a million to keep the school at bay.
This was our encyclopedia
the tree of knowledge that we climbed.
