Nevermind Number Nine

Rounded up Forgotten pup No hourglass shape Like sister eight Denied the pluck Of seven's luck No flashy tricks For clever six Lacking the vibe Of cool kid five Awkward score No balanced four Craves symmetry Family of three Alone and blue Unlike cute two While ten and one Have all the fun Eleven stays Aloofly away Twelve is far Too popular And all the teens Have their own scenes So, find time for nine In your counting rhymes! 4/10/21 Anacreontic Verse contest Sponsor: Silent One
