Why was 6 afraid of 7?

Submitted by smiley7 on Sat, 03/18/2017 - 8:46pm

Because, 6 heard that 7 8 9.

From the beginning, 6 pleaded with fellow numbers to celebrate the opportunity the first grade provided...

let's play

and play, 6 did

through universities, over continents

up mountains, down rivers

on stage-and-off in many languages

keeping on

enlightened more by hippie fashion and colors

6 soared.

Smoking the way into new 'oblivions' of the numerous

discovering links to winged creatures and satellite images of Pythagoras cut in stone.

Rising up, falling down again and again; stopping to believe metamorphosis,

making each step better.

But, 7 8 9!

Over and over and over and over as if

numbers make no mind

without dollar signs.

Why does 6 fear 7

because 7 8 9.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

@Ellen North Why did the lettuce blush?

Because, it saw the salad dressing. Smile
