Numerology

there are not
twenty months
in a year

but there are
twenty days in
every month

when using
a twenty-four
hour clock

twenty twenty
is eight twenty
at night

next year is
twenty twenty
i don't know

if any stars
or planets are
lining up

but next year
on a twentieth
i'm retiring

after twenty
three years at
the age of

sixty and that
adds up because
twenty plus

twenty plus
twenty is
sixty

now i just
need to some
how sum in

the numb
er twenty
three

i must be
missing
some

thing

I've seen that, but years ago. I barely remember it; so yes, a much watch again as well.

You just reminded me of the film Pi. Have to watch that again.

Yes Maureen. 23 is, if you've ever read the "Illuminatus Trilogy". Jim Carrey even made a movie "23"; but in fact 23 is not really important. If the authors would have used 17, then you would see 17s everywhere. But I would enjoy reading your 23 story Maureen. Thanks.
