Half of Ninety Eggs

Speed

Ninety eggs rested in two quiet trays of care.

Half of ninety for market — how many?

Half of ninety is forty-five. Not forty-six by hope.

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: ninety counters, split fair — forty-five each side.

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.

Half of ninety = forty-five.

Half of ninety = forty-five.
