Tinker, Tailor (Eight's Nursery Rhyme)
[Together]
Tinker, Tailor: generate industry,
Soldier, Sailor: navigate territory,
Richman, Poorman: value family,
Thief, Beggar: undertake trickery. As you fall into the crater, call out for their relief,
Put your faith into the Eight for they demand your belief,
Commit their names to memory, and memorise this motif,
Tinker Tailor, Soldier Sailor, Richman Poorman, Beggar Thief!
They light up whene'er the Moon wanders by
Making lunar loop-de-loops in the sky
Helping clerics' magic magnify
If you want their sacred boon: deify! [Counterpoint]
