Sixty-Seven Plus Forty-One Pegs

Sixty-seven fence pegs in the bucket.
Sixty-seven plus forty-one — how many altogether?

Little Thunder declined commentary with mahogany dignity — farm bull stillness only.
Kids: sixty-seven pegs plus forty-one. Count once, then check.
Farm maths is a promise living things can trust.

Sixty-seven + forty-one = one hundred eight.
Sixty-seven + forty-one = one hundred eight.
