Numbers Game
I wonder who came here from afar
Give yourself 5 if you came by car.
If you came with a friend, give yourself 7.
If she’s the one who drove, she gets 11.
Were you one time, not a minute late?
Punctuality pays, so give you self 8.
A watch is worth 6, and each ring is worth 2
10 more points if you are wearing blue.
Add 4 to your score if you’re wearing pink,
But take away 10 if you left dishes in the sink!
Count all your buttons—each gives you one,
Except if they are white, then you get none.
If you’ve bought Avon before, give yourself 4
If hosting a party is your cup of tea, Wave your hand now and add 23.
Add 1 point for each year you’ve been wed,
That just may put you way ahead.
If you’re single, we won’t debate.
Go ahead and give yourself 8.
Children count too: they are blessings from heaven.
For each of your kids, you may add 7.
Now, into your personal life we must delve,
If you kissed your husband or boyfriend today, you get twelve.
If you’ve kissed them both, you must subtract 20,
For you are in trouble, and I’d say plenty!
Now that’s all, so all your points to see,
Who’s the highest scorer and who gets a gift from me!
