POEM: Thirteen Stories Involving the Number Thirteen; Minus Ten Stories
This was produced for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge. The theme is the number thirteen.
THIRTEEN STORIES INVOLVING THE NUMBER THIRTEEN.
MINUS TEN STORIES.
Thirteen monkeys jumpin on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
The other monkeys wised up,
went out to Sports Authority at the mall
and bought bike helmets.
.
Thirteen bottles of beer on the wall,
thirteen bottles of beer.
I took one down and drank it all.
Now there’s only twelve.
Nothing to fear.
It helps that I’m a little high now, too.
Thirteen Spartans defending the pass
against thirteen thousand Persians.
You’d think the Spartans would be screwed, right?
But the Israelis had their back
and nuked the crap outta the Persians.
I know what you’re thinking.
The Spartans lived way before the founding of Israel in 1948.
Way before.
True.
But who’s to say the Israelis didn’t have a time machine?
Not me.
