I'll count to a hundred,
Said John-Jay-Joe-Ray,
I'll count to a thousand,
Said Stacey-Grew-Gray...
That's too easy,
Said Mike Jeffrey-Binadee,
I'll be counting,
Up to infinity!
No way!!,
Yelled John,
Stacey just laughed,
But Michael was counting,
And time?
It just passed...
Mike counted all day,
He counted all night,
He counted in dark,
He counted in light...
He counted for minutes,
For days, and for weeks,
He counted so long,
His mouth went creak-creak...
He got to a thousand,
Ten thousands too,
Mike was determined,
He even missed school...
Two weeks to a million,
He kept counting more,
Ten years to a Trillion,
His tongue was so sore!!!
His friends were
in college,
Mike stuck to his goal,
To count to his number,
Mike had grown old...
His beard was long,
His hair was white,
He kept up his counting,
His goal was in sight!
Infinity so close,
Just one step ahead,
Not stopping for green lights,
Not stopping for red...
But no matter how fast,
Mike tried to catch it,
Infinity was equal,
Mike couldn't match it...
It was always out front,
One step away,
Had to stop somewhere,
At least that's what he'd say...
But Mike found out,
It just wouldn't quit,
And he'd never quite get there,
But still there he sits ...
Can you hear him counting?
Where he lives,
Saying numbers,
Like Santa gives...
That's Michael's mission,
To count to the top,
But I'm just wishing,
One day he'd to stop...
