The number of centenarians will increase much when man starts thinking with his liver.

Insurance Coverage to Indians
Insurance Companies assure coverage
to those who die early
and those who live long.
Among the greying population in India,
the number of centenarians
rockets more than in China
as the Indians have a long life span.
This is nerve-wracking
for the Insurance Companies
which have sold annuity plans
to individuals, who must be paid
a lump-sum once a year till they survive.

My dear alcohol
My dear alcohol
How nice are you to us
Your ingestion takes us to heaven
We float with confidence
We feel we have solutions for
All problems
Your circulation within
Makes us understand
The purpose of our living
What magic you perform
Within us is a still wonder to me
Medical science says a
A number of things
You can do to us
While you are present
In our blood stream
I do not understand a word of it
But, yes, I experience
Such a good person like you
Cannot harm us
But, not less frequently
I hear a number of
Uncomforting things
About you
You are quoted often
A reason for a number
Of road accidents
You, I, understand
Affect the human liver
You, probably, do not know
How important this organ
Is for human beings
My knowledge, though, limited
Says that the liver has a major role
In digestion of food
They say you enlarge liver
And you have the potential
To cause liver cancer
Which can be fatal
The one great strength of yours
Is that you make a person addicted to you
And make the person dependent on you
You do this especially to
Our poor fellow folks, who
Do not earn enough to feed
Your hunger when you are inside
Most often they are the
Ones, who become the
Most blessed of your grace
And bear the brunt of having consumed you
In good faith
Our efforts to
Prohibit or restrict
Your human consumption
Failed miserably
And the painful episodes
Associated with you
Still continue unabatedly
Take it from me,
We do not find fault with you
And your nature
It will be unwise on my part
To request you
To develop a distaste in us for you
On your first consumption
Though I can request you this
Can you change a bit yourself
Intoxicate your consumers
In their first drink itself
So much that they cannot
Even lift the glass a second time

Divorced from Dumb Reality - Number Lesson on Numb Pointless Love
DIVORCED FROM DUMB REALITY
My fun begun with number one,
swore to be true to number two,
happy to be with number three,
then to adore fair number four.
No more alive is number five,
mix stones and sticks Styx number six,
who’s in heaven, number seven?
its now too late for number eight.
Another line for number nine,
begin again with number ten.

My fun begun with number one,
swore to be true to number two,
happy to be with number three,

No more alive is number five,

its now too late for number eight.
Another line for number nine,

Friday The 13th
To many the number thirteen
is a number to avoid and beware of,
add Friday in front of the number,
and you have a very scary day.
To me the number thirteen,
has always been always been a lucky one,
and Friday the thirteenth,
even luckier still
Then again, if you are superstitious
any number can be unlucky.
If you want to think it so,
it just depends on how positive you are.
Now if you think negative,
you will be that way to,
so in your thinking,
just be like me.
Positive is lucky, negative is unlucky,
so train you mind,
to think positive
all the time.

Take Me To The Liver
Id like to do some more songs about buildings and food
This is a song about liver, very high in protein, very good for ya
Hope you like it
I dont know why
You feed me so bad
Think of all the health food
I couldve had
You took-a my yogurt
And my whole wheat bread
You give me ding dongs
And twinkies instead
I wanna know
Can you tell me
When is it going to end
Take me to the liver
Push it on my platter
Give me a piece of liver
Oh, drop it on my platter
Scarfin it down
Scarfin it down

Livin In A Hut
Ive got an ugly liver from drinking too much
Ive got painful sliver from thinking too much
Oh I dont want to go on livin in this rut
Oh I think Ill go out and build me a hut, but
Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things that you will do
Make me think I havent got a clue
Ive good a real good sense for seeking out the booze
But I cant afford to buy a pair o shoes
And when I get some cash its already been spent
Oh, I can smoke and drink but I cant pay my rent
Ive got an ugly liver from drinking too much
Ive got painful sliver from thinking too much
Oh I dont want to go on livin in this rut
Oh I think Ill go out and build me a hut, but
Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things that you will do
Make me think I havent got a clue

Number
I have no number
No number is related to me
Do not show me number
I have not missed any
There is no magic square
To fill the number
There is no number
I have also not trumpet
For number.

Keep not ill company lest you increase the number.
Knowing you might some day come
Knowing you might some day come
and how unprepared I’ve always
been
like Mr. Sloppy
in Charles Dickens’
our Mutual Friend
I made a list:
not meat, vegetables, beer and pudding
but number l, warmth.
number 2, warmth.
number 3, warmth.
number 4, a good snuggler.
number 5, someone who sings
while he/she works.
number 6, a dancer.
number 7, someone who grows & is
intrigued by
the mind. And
by the spirit too.
Number 7, someone who is loved
by animals; and loves
them back without
a thought.
number 8, someone who smells
delicious.
number 9, someone whose anger
lasts no longer than mine.
number 10, someone who
stands beside me. behind me. If necessary
in front of me.
number 11, someone who
is a passable cook.
number 12, Someone who laughs
a lot, thinks I have a fine
sense
of humor
& has friends.
number 13, someone who can be
original in dress:
stylish

Keep company with good men, and you'll increase their number.
Number 1
Put your hands up
put your hands up
everybody in the house put your hands up
Once upon a time
a time when you were mine
we filled each other's heart
there was no tearing us apart
I saw it all fall down
my world just hit the ground
I had to go, break away
but there's no future out that way
It's messing with my mind
this love I can't define
am I dreaming?
you look into my eyes and tell me
It's only love
I'm thinking of baby
you make me feel
so mighty real baby
I got to let you know
before you're gone
you're my number 1
It doesn't make no sense
my love and condifent
sends shivers down my spine
but keeps me hanging on the line
There's so much going on
don't know where I belong
but don't worry
just look into my eyes and tell me
It's only love
I'm thinking of baby
you make me feel
so mighty real baby
I got to let you know
before you're gone
you're my number 1
Put your hands up
put your hands up
everybody in the house put your hands up
It's only love
I'm thinking of baby
you make me feel
so mighty real baby
I got to let you know
before you're gone
you're my number 1
yeah yeah
tell you baby
you're my number 1

Thinking Man's Blues
i was thinking about Jesus
i was thinking about robbing a bank
thinking about the band a playin'
while the Titanic sank
thinking 'bout salvation
thinking about getting free
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about generations
i was thinking about saving grace
i was thinking about truth and lies
thinking about flesh and lace
thinking about redemption
and rivers running to the sea
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about the Dharma
'bout Martin Luther King
thinking about Merle Haggard
thinking about James Dean
thinking about the costs of war
about moral depravity
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

Zero Covers All
Lately I realize.
I am a numb number,
living through life.
First child.
Date of birth.
Sixth star of twenty-seven.
Scorpio numbers six of twelve.
Studied tenth class,
Then 5-year’s graduation,
Every class I had a scroll number.
Exams written on id number.
Studied law.
Head churning three years,
with numbered sections.
Penal code, constitution.
Clauses of law in numbered sects.
Registered in bar council.
Legal practice.
Case files are numbered.
Subsequently I got,
House number, door number.
Phone number.
Mobile number.
Account numbers.
Credit card number.
Pan card number,
Folio numbers,
Car number,
License number,
Policy number,
Health card number,
Election card number,
Passport number,
Ration card number,
Ultimately, when you put me in morgue,
allotted me a number.
Which, I do no know.
However, I know a number.
I am a big zero.
It covers all my life
Yes, we discovered zero.
What a relief?
Does it not cover all?
fulfill all values!
By the way your number please?
X number or N number?
Infinite numbers.
