Transpose the 2 and colon. Of course, #'format doesn't seem to be
smart enough to talk about puppies or children. ;)

Well, yes and no:
(format nil "~r ~a~:*~:@p of beer on the wall" 99 "pupp") => "ninety-nine puppies of beer on the wall"

(format nil "~r ~a~:*~:@p of beer on the wall" 1 "fl") => "one fly of beer on the wall"

Whatever that means... :)
