  Counting
Those who count
        can count

and those who don’t count
        don’t

Now the counters want to invent
a way of counting what can’t be counted

The counters need counters
to account for the uncountable

It gets them back to square one
Meanwhile those who don’t count
don’t count on it

They count themselves lucky

There’s nothing to it really
