Numbers Count -- a poem, my number for you
[Click on picture for full screen view]
Favorite Number
Numbers are my friends
True friends just a few
I wouldn't name names
But for those special
Some special to me
I'll tell one to you
Eighty-eight comes first
A lady I know
Our race car's lucky
Number 88
Had three Oldsmobiles
Model Eighty-eights
Mom was eighty-eight
when dear mother died
Morse code 88
Tells "Love and Kisses"
Now I've told you mine
You can tell me yours

I like 88 much...sometimes see even 888....lucky numbers, financial prosperity. Good for you.
I learned something about 88 today, Jim.
I like that 88 has been a repeating theme throughout life. There's something lovely about infinity on its side marking these moments in time.
A lucky number indeed.. Almost like you where Chinese.
Excellent - I didn't see where this was going, but it was a fun read. Thanks. Also, loved the graphic of Consul.
Interesting... Morse code 88 and all the associations make a nice poem.
So adorable..There are certain numbers that keep visiting us.
All new to me. Very sweet, thanks. k.
What an inventive way to delve into a really cool number!
