Somewhere I got inspired by counting numbers


I was counting numbers
lost track of them each time
trying as my mind was
to put some words to rhyme

But someone bothered me
kept knocking on my door
and all I wished to do
was rhyming a bit more

Don't know why they wanted
to know my number's height
but who is really counting
when rhyming is in sight

I told them look yourself
They're on this page somewhere
don't bother me again
for I have rhymes to share

They said some nasty things
of being not sincere
I think they did not know
the caring people here

I lay it here beside
for numbers I won't count
it's of no importance
cause love it is I found

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Titia~
You rock, girl ! !
AND I LOVE IT !


You are just so cute
I love the way you count !
Keeping up with the numbers
My gosh - look how they mount !

Quicker than you can calculate
the numbers show how we relate !
Now when you are in a rush
Just tell those nasty things to *hush*

Smiling big time here !

Love ya', gal !

I think I'd like this one around when balancing the check book, but then that might be risky.

You do that Bill, but don't count them too seriously, cause then you won't be able to see the love that's coming your way

Thanks Faterider en Saunni for your replies.

Somewhere on the forums I got my inspiration
a long long thread it was quite a sensation
