David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

For BiteSize No104 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Three is the Loneliest Number

Once, a lonely number three
sat forlornly on my knee.
In his eyes, I saw despair
as he was sitting there.
"You needn't sniffle, cry or pout.
I too have been the odd man out."

Michael Tor February 24, 2025 at 3:31 PM This reminded me of three dog nights song one is the loneliest number but three can be as bad as one lol. Thanks for posting David.... David Crandall February 24, 2025 at 3:47 PM Yep, I remember that song. Three Dog Night made the recording of the first version of that song that I heard. I think One (is the loneliest number) was written by Harry Nilsson. His version's pretty good too.
