8x5x5

Eight for the count
Brings five to five
Eight for the fight
Keeps us alive
Eight for the clock
Climbing time’s dive

Eight for the furniture
Eight for the clothes
Eight for the flights
Eight for the music

Eight for the butterfly
Eight for the zombie

Eight for the win
Because this room goes
Eight by Five by Five
And who needs more
Than this little room?
