Funny Numbers
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Numb I have suffered
And by God done I am
Lord..
So many characters
Too many teachers
Yell and try to tell
How to sauce
The spice of life
And I am just a day old.
Two you fall in love
4 you will rue
They break your heart
In 25 pieces
And give you
Zero back.
It's the beginning
They four get.
It's the end
Like 12th of never
They remember
And blame you 33 times.
Put them on ice
Have a double
With no tot trouble.
Now a triple
And equal them
To zero.
Even 11 is even
If you hush out 1
Now I am one
Goin solo
Not duo
First in line
Sho go away
Want to be alone
Whimper somewhere else.
It's my album.
I start my life
To count
Up to five.
I know the abc
A B C
It's incredible code.
I am no 123456789
Calculate..
Arithmetic becomes electric
One in a billion
Nor the first
I count on me' self
Digit fidget fiddle
Credit or debit
Twiddle twitch
Overdrafted with
Needles and pins
Arithmetic rhythm
Hum de wow
After 5 minutes
Hum de whaa.
Caught 22
You get it ...
You 007 ? .. relax ..
Odd man very odd
You will be 66 and
Outstanding old gold.
Zero zero seven
I give you 10
from 10.
But I ..
Eye for one
Now just be 1
In the million.
