    Rhymes
    This rhyme is said about days on which weddings are celebrated.
    "Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday |for| the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses
    Friday fro crosses,
    And Saturday no luck atal.
    For a wedding it is lucky to have
    Something borrowed.
    Something blue.
    Something old.
    And something new.
    This rhyme is said when playing "tig"
    Hyrom, byrom, bim, boe rock.
    Three wires again the clock.
    Satin spin turn the win.
    Hity, hate out and in.
