    As I was going to St. Ives,

    I met a man with seven wives.

    Each wife had seven bags,

    Each bag had seven cats,

    Each cat had seven kits.

    So, kits, cats, bags, and wives,

    How many were going to St. Ives?

    (much better spoken)

    Ohio, nope. Read it to yourself a few times. It will come to you. Think of homophones.
