Sounds like a variant of the old nursery rhyme/riddle:
"As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with 7 wives.
Every wife had 7 cats.
Every cat had 7 kits.
Kits, cats, wives, Ives...
How many were going to St. Ives?"

As I was going to Milwaukee
I met a man with seven lackeys
Every lackey had seven coats
Every coat had seven hooks
Every hook had seven fobs
Fobs, hooks, coats, lackeys
How many were going to Milwaukee?
