Countdown

**

One, Two, Three
I count carefully

Four, Five, Six
If words don’t fit, I fix

Seven, Eight, Nine
It’s working out fine

Ten, Eleven, Twelve
Some words I had to shelve

Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen
Sentences keep shifting

Sixteen (and so on)
Sometimes they just run on

But most of this is jive
Fifty-three, Fifty-four, Fifty-five
