One (is fine)

One is obnoxious
One is fine
One is forever
So completely mine
It goes on every da-a-a-a-y
One is atrocious
One is cool
One makes you wander
Feeling like a fool
So gloomy and gre-e-e-e-y
One is OK
It’s a wholesome number
Well, it’s OK
But a lonesome number
Still it’s fine
A half-full goblet of wine
One is a taste
of bitter sugar
Like Toblerone
without the nougat
And in fact
It’s a glass half-empty and cracked
Despite your good intention
One is a burden
One is good
One makes you edgy
gets you in the mood
All of the ti-i-i-i-ime
One is a horror
One is true
One works like magic
Makes you want to woo
What else can you do
If you ever
Want to reach the
miracle of two
One is obnoxious
One is fine
One is atrocious
One is fine
One is a burden
One is fine
One is a horror
One... is ...fine

Two
Two is right
Two makes the days bright
Two
Two is blessed
Two puts the mind at rest
Two is the sparkle in her eyes
Two is the devil in disguise
Two
Two is nice
Two is a rare spice
Two
Two is great
Two lets you love or hate
Two is a mission to complete
Two is a baddie to defeat
No matter who you meet
It always seems so neat
Two
Two is strange
Two is a sea change
Two
Two is clean
Two is an evergreen
Two is like aiming at the sun
Two is so preferable to one
But soon you’ll be overrun
And if you falter, well, you’re done!
Two
Two is right

Three (is a crowd)
03:32

Three is a mess
causing you much distress
Three is a groan
reason enough to moan
-Three is a river of tepid tea
What will it take for you to see---
Three is a drag
handle for pointless brag
Measure of rue
struggle of hapless few---
--- Please, make no mistake
So much is at stake
There is no pleasure in harsh regret
No satisfaction in hard cold sweat
Whether you’re guilty or not
You’re dead on the spot.
-------
Please, make no mistake
So much is at stake
Better still, forsake
all of your previous actions…
Three is a gaffe
cutting your soul in half
Making you tense
laughing at your expense
Come all you youngsters and stand real proud
Gather around me and shout out loud
Gather and shout it out loud
that three is a crowd

Four (blessings)
02:14

Here I am, counting the seasons
They’re always four
Same as before
And after
Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn
I can no more
ignore
all of the doubt they have in store
neither can I take a stand
Here I am, counting the roses
They’re always four
Thrown on the floor
And scattered
Barring all shakespearian citations
I must deplore
the absence of a shore
to walk on and implore
all gods of love and war
to come to your front door
Here I am counting the reasons
I’m feeling sore
(But) who’s keeping score
I don’t care
Here I am, calling the angels
To help restore
Your core
(cause it’s) making you harder to adore
(please) Listen to the angels sing
Here I am, counting your blessings
Love me

Five (stars)

There’s nowhere you can hide
The darkness is inside
So gaze at the shooting stars above
And blithely fall in love
Each streak in the sky
Invites you to try
If wishes come true
Your love will come back to you
Five stars
Five scars
Five wishes kept away in five jars
A smile is all you need
No matter if you bleed
You claim that you’d rather be alone
And turn your heart to stone
The stars are a sign
The future looks fine
So savor the view
And trust it will see you through
Five stars
Five scars
Five wishes kept away in five jars

Six (days)

Always steeped in darkness
Working six days a week
Every Sunday morning
Lucy opens her eyes
Light comes through in sudden explosion
Lucy yells and jumps out of bed
Fiercely she goes out in a frenzy
All day long. Until
Monday comes to crush her gentle spirit
Saturday she barely feels alive.
Sunday comes again to revive her
Blasting colors into the light
Overjoyed from morning to nightfall
She turns in. Just for
Six hours till the torment starts all over
Six days till she comes to life again
She goes wild regardless of weather
Always glad to dance in the rain
Storms and gales are never eternal
Here’s the sun dispersing the clouds
Rainbows burst in vivid confusion
Sunshine works its way in her soul
