Number Love

My pal Alex prefers the primes,

while Jane likes multiples of eight.

Major Tom votes nine, Jim 13,

and Liz thinks that 17’s great.

I’m a true Fibonacci fan;

Jill most probably loves them all,

but young Gavin’s GOLDEN BIRTHDAY

made him feel a hundred feet tall

(I hope)!

This just shows that absolutely anything can get you thinking about writing a poem. Alex Church started a FB conversation the other day by stating his fondness for prime numbers. I don’t know what prompted him – hopefully something delightful that was uttered by a child. It inspired me to consider all things numerical. What fun!
