Amazing Stuff

“Bookkeeper” is the only word in the english language That has three consecutive double letters So the next time you're at a party and ask this question You'll be crowned “Best Trivia Player” ever! Did you know there are as many chickens on earth As the number of human beings This one blew my mind and will surely blow yours Each day, 75 acres of pizza are eaten Our eyes are the same size as the day we are born But our nose and ears don't stop growing Bet you've never heard about this amazing fact Under black light, a cat's urine is glowing A healthy, individual laughs about five times a day Did you know, “bananas grow pointing up!” I've heard that bamboo can grows three feet a day Never stick bamboo up your nose or your butt The Statue of Liberty's fingers are eight feet long That's quite amazing for picking her nose Imagine the size of her ginormous large nostrils Could probably drive a truck in there if you chose Did you know that humans average 4,800 words a day My mother-in-law can beat that no problem During a full moon, she can speak two words at a time Some days three but that's not quite as common Amazing stuff!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Stutters do better than that on double letters! Dragon eats acres of pizza at one sitting. You'll need a higher number when he's around! You're right, you know, about the nose and ears. I look like an elephant! There's no need for a black light around here, the nose does the job. But for secret messages and Hubby's math on the walls, black lights are sublime. Hey! If you stuck bamboo up the Statue of Liberty's nose... will she have been bamboozled? Well at least it'll solve the nose picking!

My favorite amazing fact that you presented withing your glorious write here was the fact that there are just as many chickens on Earth as there are humans...now that is an amazing fact my friend! I surely loved many other parts of your poem here too Jack, 4800 words a day, I believe that though with my sister, she can outdo that by far! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!

Jack, I think the mother-in-law lines gave me a couple of my laughs for the day. Thanks, and the poem was great.
