Your born with a number

later given a name

graded at school

with a level to attain,

dont stop there when your off to work,

there you get a number

and many more.

Even your bank throws in with a line

sometimes so long

makes your sight go google eyed,

but the when you want

to access your cash

you have to have a pin

or leave it where its stashed.

Your phone was once

with places for ID

now its yes you've guessed

is ther no escape from the numerical sea.

Sadly I saw a man

soon it could be me

trying to pay for his shopping spree,

poor old guy

could not recall his pin

distressed him no end,

he searched through a diary

without success,

then left the store

rightly so stressed,

sod all mathmatics

and non functional names

I shall be so excited when

numbered twins suddenly burst everywhere

and computers go gaga

do you think I will care.

I understand believe me I do

but my name is John

not 95182.
