Number Games Poem by RIC BASTASA

one is sick.
two is acceptable.
three is not.
four is too friendly.
five is a pity.
six is empty.
seven is lucky,
eight is progressive.
nine is accommodating.
ten is perfect.

eleven is shopping.
twelve is apostolic.
thirteen is superstitious.
fourteen is risky
and so is fifteen
sixteen is ripe
eighteen is legal
nineteen is regal
twenty is full.

continue
counting the sheep
until you get
a very sound sleep.
