You Count comic poem 373 by Angela Lansbury



 A child must learn to count

The numbers one to ten

The fingers on both hands

Then start to count again


To reach number twenty

As everybody knows

Count to ten on fingers

The next ten on your toes


Adults must learn to count

And think of writing cheques

Hundreds of large amounts

Not just of food and sex.


you count all the hours worked

You count till pay day

You cound praise and count blame

What you pay, what you say


You count all the time

That what good folks all do

Yes, you can count on me

As I can count on you.


Make sure no hugs are missed

I know you cant resist

Count small gestures which count

So I'll blow you a kiss.
