Child's play

One of my daughter's favourite nursery rhymes involves 'Five little monkeys jumping on a bed," usually popping into her mind as she herself jumps on our bed - the 'big bed' as she calls it.  It came to mind when I read a BBC headline that rhythmically elided with the song - "How many Russians fighting in Ukraine?" (9,000 - 12,000).  The Russian version could go on for some time though.
"Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
'No more monkey jumping on the bed'.
Four little monkeys jumping on the bed..."

"9,000 Russians fighting in Ukraine,
One shot down, left undeclared dead,
Putin called Merkel and Merkel said,
'No more Russians fighting in Ukraine'.
8,999 Russians fighting in Ukraine..."
