[To start a race.]
One to make ready,
And two to prepare;
Good luck to the rider,
And away goes the mare.

	Two legs sat upon three legs, With one leg in his lap; In comes four legs, And runs away with one leg.
Up jumps two legs, Catches up three legs, Throws it after four legs, And makes him bring back one leg.

One leg is a leg of mutton; two legs, a man;
three legs, a stool; four legs, a dog.
