Pick a Number

PICK A NUMBER

I’ve had ONE wife – TWICE
THREE kids – ONE of each
4/5’s of a quart
6 pack abs
7-UP
an Olds 88
a 9 iron
and a TENS unit.

Hi John! This is very entertaining. At first I thought it was meant for the contest, but then saw your reply to Andrea. I shall still give you top7 rating for it:) // paul

Well, Andrea, truth be told the fuel for this poem came from your contest. I knew this wouldn't fit into the confines of your numbers schemes so I didn't enter it. Thanks for the idea and the comment

Nette, if Math had been called "fun with numbers" I might have done better in school.
