Penultimate primal countdown

[ionelv]

Penultimate primal count...	down
Night and day it was at first,	Ἀχιλλεύς had but one mortal physical flaw;
A three-body problem it soon became,	It is the first to sink in water,
The pentagram of sin sprung fast,	Gallium heralded a man-made singularity,
And then exhausted, δημιουργός rested a day.	But first to follow the Stone Age,
And one too many when finger counted,	Some flappers skidoo in a jiffy.
Quite unlucky now it was	From potash it derived,
Except for some cicadas.	Or salt even.
This many angels are guarding الجحيم.	These many were at the Last Supper.
And an omen was Burroughs' enigma	On many a US corner, one could get a Slurpee.
Leap we must to straighten time,	Sumerians and married people quite despised it,
The longest months are this,	On one hand I can count.
Little boot succeeded Tiberius,	Trinity was set forth
One short of the ultimate answer.	As every man is light and shadow.
