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 that 88 has been a repeating theme throughout life. There's something lovely about infinity on its side marking these moments in time.

    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.
