Well here is a description of the old game/nursery rhymn.
Ten children (or more) join hands and dance around the farmer, who stands in the center of the circle as they sing. At the end of the first verse, the farmer chooses his wife, who joins him inside the circle. At the end of the next verse, the wife takes a child, and so on, until the last verse when everyone is in the circle except the cheese, who stands alone.
I am the cheese in the game of life and I stand alone.
