Four Minus Two
An empty room you watch with care
You want to count just what's in there
Four walk in, and two walk out
You look inside and all about
Only one person inside that place
One happy, smiling, girlish face
Exactly right, I say to you
Only one person; certainly not two!
You are not crazy. You know how to add. You eye-sight is perfect. How do you explain this?
