I've just eaten 27 olives. I remember my auntie's rhyme of 'tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor' but it only goes up to 8. So I've come up with my own Turkish version:
Tinker
Tailor
Soldier
Sailor
Rich man
Poor man
Beggar man
Thief
Shoe shiner
Taxi driver
Mussel seller
Fez maker
Raki drinker
Tea bringer
Ageing singer
Cop
Nut adjuster
Goods duster
Simit baker
Watch maker
Breast enlarger
Over-charger
Ahmet's father
Quack
Rubbish trawler
Street bawler
Belly dancer
Tourist stalker
Footballer
Kerb crawler
Loud talker
Pimp
...result! What were the chances of landing on the only bird?

Here's my Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide verse:
Tourist
Expat
Local
Visitor
Holiday
Traveling
Leaving
Soon
Would be sung at a cafe, whist eating olives, and trying to assess the status of the person at the next table.
Beautiful... It is very nice rhyme words.....
