You humans sure like your numbers. Even count your cucumbers. Hey, I'm sure some do. The only thing the cat counts is toys at our zoo. Pat likes to count dough, but you need that though.
No need to wait.
Not a weight trait.
So ignore that scale.
Don't hit the trail.
Goes to 10.
Women and men.
No more, no less.
An 11 you confess?
Pffft get out of here.
Don't show that tear.
It stops at ten.
Go bug a hen.
You got it now?
You caught on, wow!
Let's get to it.
Have to gauge your fit.
How is your fit?
Taking crap or shit?
On a scale of one to ten.
You can use a pen.
How is your brain?
Does this cause pain?
On a scale of one to ten.
Sorry, we don't take Yen.
How is you attention?
Is it in detention?
On a scale of one to ten.
Can you survive under a dumpster like Glenn?
It is a four?
Why not a three tour?
What's the difference between?
What? A six you mean?
A one means none.
A ten means a ton.
A nine a smidgen less?
This could be a mess.
Did you like this post?
Rate it at my coast?
On a scale of one to ten.
Now I'll go sleep in the den.
Don't you love those that blurt out 3? I mean really a 3 can come to be? Why not 3 and a tiny bit? Sure can be a weird 1 to 10 fit. What if each have a different scale? Some do and some don't wail. Geez, I'll have to find out from the singing bass. Of course I'm a 10 little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.

That's 2 in a row
DeleteTo stomach with no dough!
Hank
Count Hank .....IN
DeleteLike Rin-Tin-Tin
Back on a streak
DeleteWith no dough to leak
Thanks Belva, Ma'am
DeleteStill counting to ten!
Hank
Double digits galore
DeleteAt our shore
"Let me count the ways"
ReplyDeleteSaid Elizabeth Barrett in a daze
She loved Robert that was true
Like morning sun and evening dew
So he would drip?
DeleteThat may have gotten lip
But this one goes to eleven...
ReplyDeleteDamn, now outta luck
DeleteWhat the fluck
Numbers can only hurt you if you believe in them I say. Cheerio this morning from numeral three.
ReplyDeleteThat they can do
DeleteWith the many a view
The scale can be subjective
ReplyDeleteI could say I was #10 in pain
with just a minor headache
but a person with a broken bone could say the same
betty
Yep, subjective as can be
DeleteAll comes back to the person on the pain spree
The Tale Of The Scale!
ReplyDeleteGetting #1 will make you wail
It's from 1 to ten
Quite a long range
With enough space not to fail
Hank
Got the time
DeleteTo beat the chime
I've always been partial to 13
ReplyDeleteBut 10 can be super keen
And being #1 would be unforeseen
No #1 foreseen
DeleteThat is just mean
Off the charts like Spinal Tap.
ReplyDeleteOff but still on
DeleteOh a conundrum may dawn
Of course you are a 10, Cat!
ReplyDeleteBut at what where you're at?
10 decimeters under a few days back.
That's as far as I can go with rhymes this morning ~ drinking my first cup of coffee and waking up ~ let's see if I can get to 10 days in a row without falling behind on your posts. Terry wants to know, if you've dug out from under that snow. Have a good one!
10 and more
DeleteWe were at our shore
Not 10 days back
May cause some flack
As you travel here and there
Visiting many a lair
Dug out with mountains to the roof
Wishing it would all go, poof
Multiples of 10 on the scale is not always good!
ReplyDeletehaha may lead to diet
DeleteDon't want to try it
At the moment, my brain and attention wouldn't rate too high on the 1 to 10 scale....
ReplyDeleteToo many things on the go
DeleteThere at your show
10/10 would comment again. You and your posts are a lot of things, but definitely not a zero. I'd say you're #1, but on a scale of 1-10, that can get confusing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that gets math involved and philosophy too
DeleteIs zero really a number or just a thing there in your view
Doctor is always asking from a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is the pain. I dunno doc..I broke my arm, I'd say an 11. lol
ReplyDeleteYep, that is how it goes
DeleteWhat they hell to they think as their patients line up in rows
Someday I'd like to write something that enters the English language like the "eleven" reference from This Is Spinal Tap did.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun to do
DeleteLive on forever with words written by you
I'd actually like to drop 10 on the scale. Maybe that would make me a 10 in real life then? Not even close, but hey, a girl can dream...
ReplyDeletehaha well you never know
Delete10's all in a row
orlin N cassie...ewe iz doin way better N uz if yur countin toyz.....we epic failed amth at skewl....tho we did due a grate job oh tellin time durin LUNCH BRAKE ~~~☺☺☺♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteLunch break gets the win
DeleteNo need for math at ones bin
lookz like we epic failed spellin two...what de sam hellz a ...AMTH.....
ReplyDeleteletz try MATH ~~~~~~ ☺☺☺♥♥♥
We guessed it came out that way
DeleteWith what you say lol
My dad used to say.."He's as phony as $3 bill."
ReplyDeleteor "Can kill 2 birds with one stone." Still
more on his lips
as he always offered tips.
He loved the numbers game,
he opened his mouth and out they came:)
The numbers would fly
DeleteA colorful try
How awesome are waffles? Eleven
ReplyDeleteStranger things reference
Upside down
DeleteWon't make any frown
I'm really bad with numbers! Math is my enemy!
ReplyDeleteThey can be bad
DeleteEspecially when algebra is had
I prefer the smiley face to frowney face scale.
ReplyDeleteemojis for the win
DeleteCat can give a grin
How good are you
ReplyDeletecomes shout from zoo
blushes renew
a 10 won't do
Need even more
DeleteSomething of lore
An 8! This was quite a poem. Since I recently familiarized myself with a special pain index chart (to better rate my early onset arthritis), this poem takes on a whole other meaning of one to ten. Nice work Patt.
ReplyDeleteNever knew there was such a chart
DeleteHopefully the pain stays at the start
I give you a ten for your post.
ReplyDeleteTo me, it deserves the most.
You ask how is my brain?
It has sense enough to come in out of the rain.
haha that is good sense
DeleteNo sense being on the fence
I'm surprised you didn't fit a '42' reference in somewhere. haha
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that
DeleteAs we chewed the fat
A great late read Pat.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad it was fun
DeleteTo give a run
How about 3.1? Is that a smidgeon?
ReplyDeleteSo tired of surveys for everything!!
A smidgen over
DeleteYeah, feed surveys to rover
Scales lead to fails. Who needs 'em?
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun read; thanks. ☺
Yep, who needs indeed
DeleteThere at their feed
Scales I hate
ReplyDeleteUsed to be light, now it's too late
Feeling great? What.... a 2?
Better go find that shoe
That you better find
DeleteCould lose your mind
