Difference of One-Sixty-Two Eggs

Yesterday's honest total was one hundred sixty-two.
Today ninety-seven remain. What is the difference?
One hundred sixty-two minus ninety-seven is sixty-five. Not seventy by magic.
Suzy checked once more so the count stayed honest.
Adventure Cap wanted a magic bigger number. Care said stop at the honest total.
Thinking Cap habit: plan, count once, check. Cap does not invent by magic.
Pavlova supervised like a fluffy accountant and added zero by staring.
Little Thunder declined commentary with mahogany dignity — farm bull stillness only.
Kids: 162 − 97. Check once.
Farm maths is a promise living things can trust.
Tools remind. Soft landings still happen.
Suzy spelled S-U-Z-Y once for joy, then back to the numbers.
One hundred sixty-two − ninety-seven = sixty-five.
One hundred sixty-two − ninety-seven = sixty-five.
