This is a game with a most unusual title that was collected in Leitrim in 1892 by a Mr Duncan; it is also a very rare example of a game that has metamorphosed form the Irish language into English. "Crap in" is derived from the Irish "Crap isteach", meaning to draw in. The game has the same first two lines as "Hurley Burley" and has the common feature of guessing games and riddle rhymes: if the wrong answer is given by one of the players he or she is punished by the kicks and thumps of the other players. The game has three distinct strands: forfeits (kneeling), blindfolding (blind man's bluff) and guessing. It is played as follows.

All the players sit around the fire and stick their right foot out. The master of the game recites:

One-ery, two-ery, dickery dary,
Wispy, spindy, smoke of the kindy,
Old Johnny Hairy, Crap In!

Each word is directed at every player individually and whoever has "Crap In!" said to him has to draw in his right foot. The game continues until all feet are drawn in, except for those of the last player. This player has to kneel down and is then blindfolded. The master of the game places his elbow on the player's back and hits him either with his elbow or his fist, saying:

Hurley burley trump the trace,
The cow ran through the market place.
Simon alley hunt the buck,
How many horns stand up?

At the same time as he recites the last line, he holds up several fingers for all to see, while the player kneeling has to guess. If he is lucky and guesses correctly the master takes his place. If he guesses incorrectly another player comes and "bates" him on the back. The game commences as before - just the sort of thing for long winter nights!
