A 'How Many' ditty for Tuesday Platform

How Many? 

How many sailors 

does it take to change a light bulb 

How many preachers 

does it take to change one's habits 

How many Twinkles 

does it take to make Sailor sick 

How many wait staff 

does it take to carry six coffee mugs 

How many opticians 

does it take to change a light bulb 

One 

One or two 

Two or one 

Three or two 

Patience  

                            Geniuses unite!

Note:

I've had this Earworm bugging me all week. I thought I might use Mark Twain's help, by adopting the tactic that his character, the conductor, used in his short story, "Punch, brothers, punch." (Link -- read Twain's story here, please click). The conductor could not help himself from singing this ditty until he finally passed it on to one of his passengers.
The little song went like this:

Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

CHORUS

Punch, brothers! punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
