J.B. LeBuert - Numbers Sestina

The loneliest number is the number one br Combined with you is the duo two br Those combined you see, make the number three br Two duos that score, equal the number four br A trio and duo strive to make five br Two trios will mix to get the number six br br A hockey team's sticks is comprised of six br Solitaire my son is a game played by one br A basketball team is alive, with the starting five br A tennis match with you, is between only two br A square or a door has corners that add to four br A triangle's corners you see, only equals three br br There still can be glee, with a family of three br But then double it to fix on the number six br I'd rather go to the store with at least four br Dollars, instead to be stunned, with only just one br In my crew there are always at least two br More with me, but I never arrive with more than five br br When in a group it's better to have five br Than to have me and only three br It's not hard to glue when you have two br People to pick up the sticks laid down by six br Don't go to a gun fight with only one br Knife, I'd rather even the score, and have four br br There's fun in store when you have four br But you're more alive when you have five br Thank God our sun is the only one br In our little world, where we are three br Planets away from the center, and we'd be in a fix if we were six br Away from the sun, and we'd burn if I knew, we were only two br br A couple in love can only be two br Unless you're twins and that makes four br Three couples picks will add up to six br If one doesn't thrive, then we'll only have five br When we got a dog, then we were three br Then you took the dog to your son, leaving me the only one br br I only want to be a party of two, that will start at five br If you come early, at a quarter to four, then it might only be us three br If you stay late, after six, then you may become, the only onebr br J.B.
