Sleep well

One is to one as one. As two is to two will undue the cry of a crowd when raised for show. Three is to be three as a flow will take hold. Four is to four going out the door 🍀. Five is to five at the dinner table. Six is to six at a divide, Seven is to seven near to heaven, with eight to eight adding weight. Nine at 🌉 nine still feels fine. Ten to ten makes attend. From here to a dozen your on your own.
