Does Anybody Know

Does anybody actually know

How many fingers and how
many toes

It takes to count 

In order to calculate

How many nails are needed

To seal a coffin

For eternity

Makes no difference Christopher it’s very seldom, in fact extremely rare, they ever climb back out, but I’m guessing your speaking figuratively about the final nail in the coffin, how many precedes it is anyone’s guess, a thought provoker, cheers David
