The world of numbers is amazing and alive
All enrich lives as we conquer and divide
A great lucky number is one
Life’s always so much fun
Superstitions warn us that thirteen
Is very unlucky unless one is a teen
One may be the loneliest number for sure
Unless two brings love that feels so pure
Seven continents and seven days in a week
Seven may bring even better fortunes to seek
Some exclaim seven will bring luck
Unless it keeps one forever stuck
A popular lottery number is eleven
Bringing more luck than even seven
The twelve tribes of Israel come to mind
Twelve months of the year fit just fine
The posted highway speed limit sits at 50
Sorry officer, my foot was a bit heavy at 60
March 14 is well known to students for its “pi”
Perchance, there is a “real” piece if we all try
The Hawaiian alphabet is made up of thirteen letters
For some, the thirteen floor is unlucky, never better
Down under in Australia, koalas soundly sleep
For eighteen hours without even a small peep
Do you like to see what your numbers say?

This was fun! I especially loved the March 14th for pi!! So cool. I love numbers also, and enjoy doing algebra with my oldest 2. Blessings. ☺

Thanks so much Richard. Numbers don’t scare me but one of my teens doesn’t enjoy them like I do……at least not now. 🤔
