MONODY

It is a world of numbers,
And that we can't deny.
They show us how to navigate,
Or simply bake a pie!
There are serial numbers-
And social ones to boot.
Degrees, and fees, and recipes
(Don't forget the loot!)
Take a number - call a number...
Get one, if you run.
Scratch a silver label
And see what you have won!
There're numerals in the Bible
(Please don't leave IT out)
Measuring and tallying
As folks move round about.
But there is a lesson-
Buried 'tween the lines,
And that's the TRUTH of digits
Which the LIGHT outshines...
You see, with all these figures
That plague us by the ton,
Christ came to remind us-
There's really only ONE!
