What's My Number?
I’m thinking of a number,
from one to ninety-two.
Let’s see if you can guess it!
I’ll share some hints with you …
There’s twice my number playing
on a soccer field each game.
My number made it to the moon
and brought Apollo fame.
My number is an odd one.
In fact; it’s even prime.
It’s just about a dozen,
and greater than a dime.
It’s pipers piping music.
It rhymes with artichoke.
The White House saw my number
with President J. Polk.
Before you guess my number
be wary of one clue.
To make things extra tricky …
one hint?
It isn’t true!
from one to ninety-two.
Let’s see if you can guess it!
I’ll share some hints with you …
There’s twice my number playing
on a soccer field each game.
My number made it to the moon
and brought Apollo fame.
My number is an odd one.
In fact; it’s even prime.
It’s just about a dozen,
and greater than a dime.
It’s pipers piping music.
It rhymes with artichoke.
The White House saw my number
with President J. Polk.
Before you guess my number
be wary of one clue.
To make things extra tricky …
one hint?
It isn’t true!
