BUSH SCHOOL

"Zebra. Zebra. Count my stripes.

I’ve all different patterns, all different types.

I’m counting yours and I can see,

You’ve actually got more than me.

 

I’ve counted to a hundred, and ten, and more.

I think I’m correct . . . I’m not sure . . .

Stop prancing around! You’re messing up the score.

Ah . . .! I’ve done it. You’ve got, two million, nine hundred and fifty-three!
