One Hundred-thousand words on a simple page,
One Hundred-thousand words will never fill you with rage,
One Hundred-thousand words in a red covered book,
One Hundred-thousand words will only take one look,
One Hundred-million words in a house full of tales,
One Hundred-million words without any fails,
One Hundred-million words to show you what I think,
One Hundred-million words you'll miss if you blink,
One Hundred-billion words to fill the night sky,
One Hundred-billion words sometimes will make you cry,
One Hundred-billion words you’ve not seen in a while,
One Hundred-billion words to give you a sweet smile,
One hundred-trillion words will keep you on your feet,
One hundred-trillion words can’t make you fall asleep,
One hundred-trillion words can make you show’em,
One hundred-trillion words are all in a poem.
