Ninety
Ninety on a test is great;
For weather, it’s too hot.
Everything is relative
And either good or not.
Ninety as a bowling score
Is really rather low.
Golfers would be mortified,
At least those going pro.
Ninety is what models weigh
To reap their dividends.
A ninety-pointer would be sweet
When playing “Words with Friends.”
Ninety dollars some might spend
To dine out on a meal.
Hotel rooms for ninety bucks
Would really be a steal.
Ninety’s sometimes wonderful
And other times, upsetting;
It’s ninety-plus degrees right now
And yuck! I’m really sweating!
