    "Holom, bolom, limber, lock, three wires in a clock, sitting, singing, turning, springing, tee taw, tip her out!".
    Whoever is "out" stands at the back and whoever is last has to put a cloth on her eyes and follow the others.
    When she catches one she has to pull the cloth off her eyes, but if the capture gets away before she pulls it down off her eyes she is still the catcher.
    When she is tired she picks out another girl to catch.
    Alice Halpenny, Stormanstown, Ardee.
