Abacus

You can count on me
within a small frame. 
As colors have a name,
you can count on me. 

You can count on me 
with a childlike ease.
By twos or by threes,
You can count on me.

You can count on me.
Take ahold of my beads. 
For your counting needs, 
you can count on me.

You can count on me 
by fives or by tens. 
You can count on your friends. 
You can count on me.
