Choosing Jingle Updated

Eenie...Meanie…Miney…Moe is a short, English choosing jingle. Known to children throughout the world, the rhyme has countless, regional tongues, variations and more than a few controversies.

A former submariner known as Juan Caruso al Humacao penned a variation that he considers may better reflect original intent.

A recent archeological discovery in Babylon explains the underlying reference to Moe, according to al Humacao:

Eenie...Meanie…Miney…Moe, Catch a prophet by the toe;

Eenie...Meanie…Miney…Moe, If he's peaceful, let him go;

Eenie...Meanie…Miney…Moe, Or, off to Guantánamo!

Apologies to Muslim friends.
