A Good Fat Hen

A nonsensical game, useful in leading to forfeits. The company sit in
a row, and one of the end players begins by saying, "A good fat hen."
Each of the others in turn must then say, "A good fat hen." The first
player then says, "Two ducks and a good fat hen," and the words pass
down the line. Then "Three squawking wild geese, two ducks, and a good
fat hen." And so on until the end is reached, in the following order--

Fourth round.--Prefix: Four plump partridges.
Fifth round.-- " Five pouting pigeons.
Sixth round.-- " Six long-legged cranes.
Seventh round.-- " Seven green parrots.
Eighth round.-- " Eight screeching owls.
Ninth round.-- " Nine ugly turkey-buzzards.
Tenth round.-- " Ten bald eagles.

The sentence has now reached a very difficult length:--"Ten bald
eagles, nine ugly turkey-buzzards, eight screeching owls, seven green
parrots, six long-legged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump
partridges, three squawking wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen."
Any one making a mistake may be made to pay a forfeit.
