Half Dozen, Twice

Egg talk on Mount Mee loves the word dozen — but today Spike started smaller.

A half dozen is six, he said. Twice a half dozen is twelve — one full dozen.

Suzy counted six eggs, then six more. Twelve. She said half dozen twice out loud.

Pavlova approved of tidy language. Quails practised half-dozen enthusiasm in miniature.

No thirteenth egg for luck. Farm counting stays honest.

Adventure Pack held no magic multiply wand. Looking did the twice.

Little Thunder contributed zero eggs and looked relieved.

Kids: six socks, then six more. That is a dozen feet of laundry maths.

Care maths names groups grown-ups use — then checks with fingers.

Tools remind. Baskets prove.

Half dozen. Twice. Dozen true.

Six twice = twelve.
