Double the Grain Sacks

Seven grain sacks sat by the bay like a quiet tower of promises.
Double them for the week, said Spike. Seven times two.
Suzy: fourteen. Not fifteen because one sack looked heroic.
They lined seven, then seven more beside — fourteen soft towers.
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.
Kids: seven books, then seven more — fourteen. Count the shelf 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.
Seven × two = fourteen.
Seven × two = fourteen.
