The Rule of Nines

 

 

 

There are nine forms of the Dragon

And it has nine children

 

In the shadow of the Sphinx, there are

Nine bows for traditional enemies

 

An anvil takes nine days to fall

From Heaven to Earth

Or from Earth to the

Nine circles of Hell

 

The nine Ringwraiths appear and vanish

Like the Six Nines in Pi.

 

Let us plot the Consequences of Love

against your timorous Soul

 

Probability says that

There will be five nines to fit the curve

The decimal must be plotted separately

Depending on your State of Grace
