Answer: I guess its a way to count down for a race in the mid 1800s
Explanation:
One for the money, two for the show is half of a rhyme used as a countdown to begin a task. The entire rhyme is: one for the money, two for the show, three to make ready and four to go. Children have used this little poem since the mid-1800s as a countdown to starting a race or competition.
I assume the bolded letters are in the first line;
Roses are Red
In that case, it would be alliteration, as both Roses and Red begin with an 'R' sound. If the bolded words are not Roses and Red, then please message me for help.
