Ones Upon All Numbers

Ones Upon All Numbers There are numbers out there counted Six of them speak clear arithmetic The others use fingers to communicate Use fractions to escape their masters Education is required to survive today And six reasons why that is Five of them are excuses Some whole numbers have alibies Figures are another story though Sure, numbers will never lie The truth is; ones grow There are four things I just don’t understand Science, algebra and calculus Why digits even exist Three is best Time for home No more counting Two truths Logic, Math Ones Created on 10/14/14 for The “I Do Not Know”-Poetry Form Contest

Hi Brenda. Thanks a lot. As you know, it is all a numbers game, so I diminished them by one number, one stanza at a time. Only ones were standing at the end. I'm glad you like it. take care. Earl
