Notes About The Poem

For Bitesize Contest No108 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

In Praise of Six

How many legs must have, an ant?
Can he do without?  He can't!
So, when he puts on his slacks,
there's nothing that he lacks...
and how does a snowflake get his kicks?
The answer's in the number six!

Great rhymes! Reminds me of a grade school teacher who taught number writing with a rhyme. Xo

It sounds like nature's numerology. I enjoyed this offbeat path that hopefully will lead me to mathematical genius.
