Magic Numbers

Number 8 has just stubbed out her fag
I’m number 22
Sat beside
A season ticket holder
Mr. Number 23
I would have got here earlier
But the doctor’s receptionist said
To wait for the phone rush to die down

Anyhow
8 and 9 are done now
Both looked a bit dodgy to me
Then, I’m no doctor, and anyway
I guess you wouldn’t come here
To pick your team for the Olympics
A bit dodgy; not a bad diagnosis
Then, my daughter is a doctor
