We see numbers all of the time

Numbers can help, or numbers produce fright

Numbers have a good, and they have a bad

Here I’ll explain, just don't get mad


Numbers were tough to us as kids, even and odd.

We counted to 10

We use them to grade, and we use them to place

First, second, third, that’s the case

1 is the best 

2 is good

3 is alrigth

No one wants 4

Numbers are seen as a thing use to rank

Numbers are used in many things,

We stare at the corner of our phones in fear,

Hoping that number won’t reach 0


We use it in money, 1, 5, 10, 20,

50, 100 we know that alredy

We use them to show how long were alive

Years, months and days

We use it in time,

Stare at the clock till it hits 3,

So we can jump of our desks and run outside

Numbers can do whatever we want

We use them to count sheep to fall asleep,

Numbers make our life easy, and we don’t realize

If numbers didn’t exist how would we count?

With apples or oranges?

With spoons and forks?


Numbers affect use like any other,

From 1 through 9 don’t forget 0, there’s infinite 

Possibilities of numbers to be seen

Like 153, or 435, 

Large numbers count too 

Like 1,453,742

Numbers are everywhere even tho you dont see it

Yes your math teacher was rigth, we use them all the time

Numbers are big and numbers are small

Numbers are scary and then they are not 

Everywhere numbers we see

1 through 10 we count all them time 

1-2-3 again and again

4-5-6 numbers dont stop

7-8 9-10
