home Poem List next poem Natural Use Doles Natural numbers relate to use doles Giving a fair share to each clan member Where your clan groups and shapes your common roles For your friendly culture to remember To issue supplies for each of your friends Some who are big and some who are quite small Requires pairing product amounts with ends Wheels to rollers and tread for those who crawl Sizes for wheels versus traction for tread Bouncing rubber versus how fast things wear Comfort must balance missions fate has wed Giving amounts to those for whom we care Morsels of food once mixed will recombine Meals break up quantities into numbers Menus of food differ for those who dine While one sleeps is the length that one slumbers Mundane things like the space for one to lie Might be a place upon a floor to sleep It could be bad print writ to fill one's eye Few think gardens queens go to hide their weep Spaces change the letters and words one needs Hunger ends sooner for some than others Just feeding changes bowl sizes for seeds When just comment refines tasteful druthers (c)ERA 06:42 AM 2/20/03
