Find and replace

⭐⭐⭐

Make

Write a program that asks the user which word they want to replace in the rhyme: roly poly roly poly up up up roly poly roly poly down down down. The individual words can be stored in a list. All occurances of that word are replaced with a word chosen by the user.

Note: do not use the .replace() method if you are aware of it. You are writing the code that might have been used to make that method.
