Does That Make Any Cents
Does that make any cents
Sight sound smell taste and touch
are the five senses
not to be confused with
five census
because
you don't need all of your senses
to be listed in a census
does that make sense to you?
five pennies should be called five cents
but isn't that called a nickel
does that make sense?
maybe that's why in Canada
we don't use pennies any more
it just didn't makes cents
although the change
was difficult to handle
we don't have to... anymore
get it...
handle change
oh well,
anyway, I digress
Don't you find it odd
that having five cents is
not like having five senses
or five census...ok ok
let's have a consenses
or should I say consensus
there you go...
so as was mentioned...
one of the five senses
is smell
so here's the problem
let's say there are five scents
that you must smell
and they all
cost a penny each
so isn't that five cents
to smell five scents
but only using one of
the senses,
does that make any sense?
