With

With three, a hand of bridge,
With two, a ménage à trois,
With ten, a football team, and with twenty-one, a game.
With eleven, a jury,
With four, a full car ride
On a weekend jaunt to the seaside,
And with one, love.

With eggs, an omelette,
With kindness, a smile,
With bricks, a house, and with family, a home.
With water, yourself clean,
With books, a full brain
That fizzes ideas like champagne,
And with love, a life.
