THE NUMBERS GAME

It is an open secret that numbers rule the world, there is no doubt.
One starts to learn about them early, and what they are all about.
No need to be well versed in arithmetic, but one must know how to count,
because, without adding or subtracting- there is no getting around.

First thing one must learn: how to count your fingers, there are ten,
if need be you can rely on your toes. They are the same for women or men.
The most important are those which are spelled on all kinds of money,
should you not be able to know the value, you sure would feel funny.

Numbers are found in all kinds of things, they surely affect your daily life,
it is no secret that there are men on Earth who can count more than one wife.
To be able to count properly is what they very early teach you in school,
should you not know that 2 by 2 is four- you surely feel like a silly fool.

It is most important that you know your age, so you can act like it daily,
and, most importantly-know your years and act like them most gaily.
It is no game that counting will show how your importance does measure,
but if the numbers add up favorably- you surely own a very fine treasure
