Seven Rows of Thirteen Seeds

Seven soft rows waited for seeds.
Thirteen seeds in each row — how many seeds altogether?
Seven times thirteen is ninety-one. Not one hundred 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: seven groups of thirteen. Count once, then check.
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 × thirteen = ninety-one.
Seven × thirteen = ninety-one.
