Who knows what numbers lurk in the hearts of names?

John has two brothers
and Harry is the brilliant ruler of a country
with 3 million stupid brains
... Mary is 48 years old
and elisabeth
Her cousin twice removed
is 24 years older
than mary's great aunt belinda
the same age as Harry
owns all the banks in his country
rules him too
and cant count to ten less
than any of the 3 millions brains
harry cant keep track of
that can add up quickly
all the votes on election day
Though light dont go well round corners
numbers can cut them quick and straight
June till May
