The man with the number

Number! Number! 
The man awakes from his slumber 
Hearing his bird shout
Number! Number!
He thinks it’s time to go cut lumber
He returns and finds the bird in a pout
Number! Number!
No way to escape feeling encumbered 
Flapping his wings and jumping all about
Number! Number!
The man looks across the room and sees the tumbler
Did he feed the bird he starts to doubt
Number! Number!
How could he forget he feels like a bumbler
This is what it’s been all about
Number! Number!
Now he can return back to his slumber
