Numbers Plumbers

Oh, how patience and wits are put to test

                    For "creative" math used to figure the best



Far be it for a newbie to question the stats

                    But seems the numbers are left to the bats



Some too intent on how the order fidgets

                    Miss out on the blessing of different digits



For the wins that last, months and years

                    Are the kind words typed ... by gifted peers.


                                                    ;-)

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/4/2018 10:27:00 PM Your last line says it all Gregory. To me it doesn't matter that much if I am not on the poetry lists. What matters are the comments left for my poetry. So true! : ) Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 3/7/2018 7:23:00 PM Amen, Connie ... that's the REAL treasure! Blessings and many thanks, Dear Friend! :-) <3

Jean Murray Date: 3/4/2018 3:41:00 PM Let me see... you are the "newbie" with a gift not always appreciated, as it goes against the formal count of others? Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 3/15/2019 11:40:00 PM I think we can all appreciate this perspective, and all FEEL it at times ... I was coming from that direction, but it works this way, too! ;-) Jean Murray Date: 3/4/2018 6:36:00 PM Not U2 but et tu July?
