Number poem

numb brr.

so cold.  hypothermia.  frost.  freezing.  windchill.  brrr
anyway,
a math poem (including the composition process!):

One is fun!  You're my number one, hon!
a nun in the sun, :-)

Two is true.  Just me 'n u.
   ooh, boo, coup, do, foo, goo, who, jew, loo, moo,
   new, pooh, Q, roo, sue, too/tu/to, view, woo, zoo
jew goes moo, too, Sue!  (not really funny, I realize)

Three
    b, c, d, e, fee, g, he, key, lee, me, knee, pee,
    re:, see, tee/tea, t, tree, v, we, z
we pay the fee to pee on the tree

Four
   or, ore, bore, corp, core, door, adore, for, gore,
   whore, lore, more, nor, poor, sore, tore, war, yore
I was for gore for four more, in that war of yore

Five
   I've, chives, knives, dive, alive, hive, jive, live, strive, wives
the five alive is as sweet as honey from the hive

Six
   chicks with dicks, for kicks
   licks, mix, nick's, pics, Twix, tix, ticks, Vick's, wicks

Seven
   eleven, heaven, Devan, Kevin, leaven

Eight
   ate, bait, Kate, date, fate, gate, hate, late, mate,
   Nate, pate, rate, sate, Tate, weight, wait, Yates
Kate dated, then mated, Nate, and was sated
I hated waiting, but the fish finally ate the bait, mate

Nine
   carbine, sign, dine, fine, Gein, Cline, Klein,
    line, mine, pine, Rhine, wine
Ed Gein with a carbine, despite the sign
Joe Cline waited in line for the fine dining, with wine

Ten
   Ben, Ken, den, again, hen, Jen, men,
   pen, wren, Venn, when, yen, zen
Ben and Ken were the best men, again

One is fun, two is true, three is me, four is war,
five alive, sickly six, severely seven, belatedly eight,
nine is fine, ten is men again, eleven goes to heaven
and, of course, 12 elves

well, this didn't turn out as fun as I had hoped.
God is One, Neo, even driving a Geo.
Leo, a law enforcement officer, eating Cheetos with brio
Leo is also a tigress, butt eye digress
