Premium Member How Many Appendages

Thirty-two appendages is what I count.
Toes and fingers totaling twenty.
Lower and upper legs and arms equal eight.
Hands and feet rounded to four.
Is that what you count?
Is that what you found?
Or did you count 
appendages more?

Ledger

eventually, you have to give back
for something that you took
when you're totaling up the ledger
numbers in your account book
the columns are too long
no mathematical symmetry
debits outweighing credits
if you took more than you need

I'm not saying

I'm not saying 
you weren't there in a pinch
I'm not saying
you didn't budge an inch
all I'm saying
is it shouldn't end like this
