Well, well, well,
I really like poems,
But I hope you don't
mind my two little coins.
It seems to me,
and it's really sad,
that for some reason,
you just can't add.
The clean animals,
going in by seven?
Suppose to represent
those going to heaven?
One-44 thousand?
I say "WoW!"
Only problem is,
I can't see how?
You see, two times seven
gives you FOURTEEN,
Divided into 144
just ain't that CLEAN!
'Cause no matter what you do,
whether drunk or sober,
Diving 144 by fourteen
always leaves something over.
Anyway, you slice it,
I still liked your rhyme.
But as far as your theory about
the 144,000 being represented by
the clean animals....?
Better luck next time.
So in conclusion,
though I hate to say it's so.
You're beastly theory, I'm afraid,
Is a definite NO-GO.
In other words...
It's going to take more than any
rhyme to get that MAMMOTH or an idea any ark!
"Twelve" is the number of the 144,000;
not "fourteen."
Sorry.
Cheers,
