Numbers bounce. Words sink. Periods stay.
A rhyme can soar while reason stumbles.
Numbers rumble, roll, and tumble.
Words mix and match. The meanings get lost.
Interpreters, translators, and liaisons are at a loss.
There is no script or cipher. All the symbols cry and defy.
We will not stand on the spot, hang on the peg,
Or step in the hole. You cannot order us.
