Who's counting?

 A DOZEN

 

 

If you say you want a dozen,

Twelve is what you mean.

Unless it’s a Baker’s Dozen,

And then you get thirteen.

The baker's dozen has pretty much gone to the wind. I used to love my thirteenth bagel.

Only thing wrong with a baker's dozen is that you come to expect it as a right. And that isn't good.
