Numbers

One plus one
equals two
two misses one
but one can get by
so two skips on
onto three

two likes three
but three's a crowd
so two moves on
missing one and three
skipping along
until two meets four

four scares two
two is not ready for that many
but already given up one and three
four asks two for some time
two and four fall in love
but two feels something is missing
it thinks about one and three
and decides to keep going
four wont forget two
and goes to join the others
while two misses four
and skips along
until it meets number five

number five isnt suprised
and greets two with much pride
but curiousity met five
and he asked two
'what happened to four and three
two didnt have an answer
and thought about what came of one
it begins to ask
why it kept skipping
past one and three
and why four was so sore
five reminded two
I was still in love with you
and two skipped no more
