THAT IS EXCEPT....JUST SEVEN.

SEVEN SEAMEN

EACH RUCKSACK HAD SEVEN BIG CATS IN IT

EACH BIG CAT HAD SEVEN BABY CATS

EVEN OL' ONE LEGGED LOUIE

HOW MANY LEGS WERE STILL ABOARD

THE SLOOP OF THIS PYRATE HORDE?

[Silkie McDonough]

Far too many to calculate ...how many pairs pf breeches are onboard? How many chairs or perhaps tables? How many pair of deviders?

A sloop ye say?

[Lady Cassandra Seahawke]

UM, NOW IS Ol' One Legged Louie a cat or seaman? to me sounds as if he be a cat or another member of ta crew.... ye never know. But either way one leg tis one leg....still, he be mentioned specifically have to ponder if he an extra leg amongst em or minus em.
