That the date was 12/12/12. In order to repeat
And write again this clever date, I'd wait a thousand years,
And that would be too long a time, it certainly appears.
But in merely 10 short years I could write 2/2/22,
And that would be a clever thing for anyone to do!
Another 10 years- 3/3/33 could be the next surprise,
And so on, until 9/9/99 = this century's demise...
Number puzzles are great fun for people to enjoy.
I'd rather play with numbers than with crayons or with toys...
