Three


Everything comes in threes, thirds and troikas.

Three meals a day
Entrée, plat, dessert
The three-minute egg

Veni vidi vici
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

The three Furies
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

One might argue that seasons come in four, but truth is, we spend a third of the year wearing coats, a third of the year wearing shorts and the other third not knowing what to wear / We spend a third of the day working, a third of the day sleeping and a third of the day doing everything else / Third parties, third degree, third time’s the charm.

Does love come in threes too???
Forget love triangles, threesomes or third nipples.
I mean to love mind, body and soul.

Can love occur without admiration, lust and tenderness?
Can love flourish without respect, passion and caring?
Can love survive without reason, desire and emotion?

Everything comes in threes, except when it doesn't.

Don't forget the following three's...

Three's Company
Rocky 3 (yes I know there was a 4, 5, and maybe 6?)
Harry, Ron, and Hermione (Hermione is my favorite)

Baseball references:
3 strikes = 1 out
3 outs / half-inning

And don't forget about my third leg...okay, no more jokes.
