(Pick A Letter to Choose a Rhyme!)

This is played with two people, alternating lines. The aim is to lure the second person into saying the last line!

Notes

Here's a variation from The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright:

"I am a gold lock."
"I am a gold key."
"I am a silver lock."
"I am a silver key."
"I am a brass lock."
"I am a brass key."
"I am a lead lock."
"I am a lead key."
"I am a don lock."
"I am a don key!"
