I dropped a small sweet from my plate,

but snatched it before 'twas too late.

"Five seconds!" I said,

then munched without dread,

as I counted its legs - there were eight!

A French farmer whose name was Philippe

Had bought a large flock of white sheep

How many there were

He never was sure

'Cause counting them put him to sleep
