Number Seven

By Monika Ribeiro

Number 7 Man
Even when I do all 6 tasks just right

You still focus on the seventh

Which is done, just not quite…

.

Your kudos last but a minute

Criticisms never stop

It’s annoying just like dripping water

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop (it)

.

7 is a symbol… of perfection

Is that what is needed to avoid rejection?

How about 6.99?

Will 6.99 secure your affection?

.

As You turn Love into Math

You’re turning joy into pain

Can we scratch number 7?

So, His Passion can reign!

.

Can we cover one another

For as long as we’re alive?

I have never met a 7

Not even a 6.5
