Her Golden Slumber

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In her Golden Slumber

she dreamt of

Number

one is wonderful

two is true

three is freedom

within

four walls

five is alive

and all that jive

six makes you

pick up sticks

and clean your room

seven is from heaven

where eight is the gate

and 

nine is divine

ten is when

you need more fingers

and the future lingers

In her Golden Slumber

she dreamt of Number

with no end

each and every number

was her friend
