The Number Five
The number five always seemed like an even number, like, it’s half of ten. I know it is not a two or a four. However, it still seems a bit even.
Whenever we go to the local diners, we can never seat six. We can always seat 5. With 6, it always seems a bit too crowded. I’ve never turned away the sixth person; it would be too rude.
Five chicken wings always fills me up. If I try and eat 6, well, it’s too much. Four never seems enough, so 5 is the magic number.
Eight hamburger rolls seems natural; five would be uneven. So in this one case, eight hamburger rolls is just right. However, who ever eats eight hamburgers? Six is the natural number and then you have two hamburger rolls to eat or discard when they get green with mold.
And that’s all I know about the number five.

Great story and welcome to the Over 20 Club. You are so right about the 8 hamburger buns. Congratulations 👏
One hamburger should definitely do it!

Plus, five has the bonus of having both sweet curved lines as well as some nice straight lines and a wonderful 45 degree angle as well!
(I'm a little weird about the shape of letters and numbers, but this post seemed like the right place to admit that)
I think that’s what I was trying to say. However, you did a much better job!
