Counting
Here I come number one
Like an ostrich I can run
Here I come number two
Bouncing like a kangaroo
Here I come number three
Squich, squich, squich like a chimpanzee
Here I come number four
Like a lion I can roar
Here I come number five
Teach the elephants how to jive
Here I come number six
Monkeys doing lots of tricks
Here I come number seven
Eagles soar up to Heaven
Here I come number eight
Flamingoes stand so tall and straight
Here I come number nine
Penguins marching in a line
Here I come number ten
The animals shout, “Let’s begin again!”

Our modern-day system of numbers is often erroneously called ‘Arabic numerals’ and people commonly assume it was devised by Arabs, but it was invented by Arya Bhatta, an Indian Hindu, so to be accurate and give proper credit where credit is due, it must be called ‘Indian numerals’ or perhaps ‘Bhatta numbers.’
Number Writing Poem
Down you run
And 1 is done.
Around, and down, and out go you,
That’s the way to make a 2.
Around, and around, just like a bee,
That’s the way to make a 3.
Down, across, and down once more,
That’s the way to make a 4.
Short neck, belly fat,
Number 5 wears a hat.
Down, around, in a circle you go,
That’s a six, just as you know.
Straight across, slide down from Heaven,
That’s the way to make a 7.
First a snake, then come back straight,
That’s the way to make an 8.
First a ball and then a line,
That’s the way to make a 9.
Tall straight, circle then,
That’s the way to make a 10.

There once was a town in West Virginia, United States of America called ‘6.’
Take A Number
Imagine a world
Without mathematics
No rulers or scales
No inches or feet
No dates or numbers
On house or street
No prices or weights
No determining heights
No hours running through
Days and nights
No zero, no birthdays
No way to subtract
All of the guesswork
Surrounding the fact
No sizes for shoes
Or suit or hat
Wouldn’t it be awful
To live like that?

One ‘googol’ is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. A ‘googolplex’ is the number 1 followed by a googol zeros, a number so ridiculously big that it cannot be written, because there is not enough room in the Universe to fit it in. In fact, one googolplex is a number so big that there is not even enough matter in the Universe to form all the zeros in it.
According to the latest news, we are running out of numbers and soon we will not be able to count things. Trading in the number 14 has been frozen as the number hit dizzying heights in the stock market before yesterday’s closing bell. Shoppers have been reporting that they are finding local retailers are completely sold out of the number 20. Numbers expert Adam Uppe has written two best-selling books on the subject, titled “How to Survive the Coming Number Shortage” and “Living in a World Without Numbers,” both from the Zero to Infinity Publishing Company.

Arithmophobia, also known as numerophobia, is a fear of numbers generally, but can also refer to a fear of math, numerals, certain numbers, calculations, or calculus. In schools, it is more commonly known as ‘math anxiety.’ The condition is fortunately not common, but for the few who do suffer from it, it is quite serious. Perhaps singing silly songs containing numbers could help console those frazzled few?
