FATHER TIME

6-17-2007=23=5

In a year that sums to 9,
A number cherished and divine,
Father’s Day – it can be seen –
Falls on June, the seventeenth.
6-17 sums to 14,
Which sums to five, a number pristine.
Now, add the year’s 9 and get 23.
It still sums to five.
How can this be?
It’s because of the 9 which, in German as “nein”
Means: don’t add a thing. That number’s divine!
Oh, just one more thing between me and you,
Time’s an enigma: elusive, and true.
