There once was a boy with a fear of number five
Its multiples sent his anxiety into overdrive
He cut off a toe
Minus a finger he’d go
And avoided all fives so he could thrive
(c) Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
Note: Quintaphobia is the fear of number five

20 April 2015 at 10:05 pmI hate even numbers… I’m quite crazy that way, counting everything I do in uneven numbers (e. g. while slicing vegetables). *lol* Love your poem!

21 April 2015 at 1:25 pmSuch unique phobias! Never heard of this one either and surprised again. So easy to multiply 5’s! 😉 And too painful to cut off digits.
