No not ever did he once
Nor ever again twice
And certainly not thrice
Like some trinity
Of sight impaired mice
Or fourth give
Seasoned advice
A quintessence of life
With hands held up high
“Give me five” they do cry
With sixth sense aroused
In meta’physical cloud
And twenty-four, seven
He’s working long and so tired
When rains, floods create
Wait for the eight
To row up to your gate
Whilst the ennead of gods
With Atum the prime
The most myth’o’logical nine
And finally reaching
A unitary thought
All this is but One with a
Gigantic big Naught.
