Skip-Count by Twos — Sheep

The race opened. Sheep preferred company — often two and two.

Skip-count, said Spike. Two, four, six… keep the beat soft.

Suzy clapped: two, four, six, eight, ten. Then twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty.

Ten pairs. Twenty sheep. Not twenty-one because Woolworth looked special.

Biltong tried to make it a goat skip-count. Different species, different queue.

Soft eye kept the pairs calm. Numbers without soft eye become shove maths.

Adventure Cap wanted to skip by tens for glory. The plan said twos today.

Little Thunder stood clear and did not invent a pair of bulls in the sheep race.

Kids: skip-count toys by twos to twenty. Clap each number.

Muster maths can be a rhythm — then a latch.

Lead means keeping the count and the kindness in the same breath.

Twos to twenty. Soft pairs.
