Len Gasun Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the number nine, one of my favorite numbers

 

The Merchant's Lucky Nine

An old merchant was born on this date,

He’s so rich, so famous in their state;

He thought that this digit made him great,

So he kept all things one more than eight.



Age nine, he was already engaged,

A woman with mansion and nine maids;

So wealthy that they enjoyed their life,

They went to Casino day and night,

At the end, he found out he’s not right.
