Three!

I always wondered when I was young why everything came in THREEs; Is there anyone out there that knows, please lend me your expertise; “Goldilocks and the THREE Bears“ or perhaps “The THREE Little Pigs”, Does anyone yet know the cause, I don’t mean to be a Prig; How about getting THREE wishes from Genie when the lamp is rubbed, Or “The THREE Blind Mice“, And rub a dub dub, THREE men in the tub; Or the “THREE Billy Goats Gruff“, And Cerberus the THREE Headed Dog, Or “The THREE Musketeers” or “The THREE Amigos”, It puts my mind in a bog; So many different stories that include the number THREE, Is there anyone out there now that disagrees with me; That wonderful magical number has infected every aspect of time, Maybe the biggest reason is that THREE is so easy to rhyme!
