An ex-friend of mine felt empowered,
When he found he had gained super powers,
With his keen X-ray eyes,
He zapped birds from the skies,
And he lasered the heads off my flowers.

When my friend met the love of his life,
He tried hard to conceal from his wife,
I was asked to assist,
with their top secret tryst,
But quite frankly, I don’t need the strife.

A mathematician of note,
Learned his nineteen times table by rote,
He hit 1,558,
And in cruel twist of fate,
His head exploded.

And in answer to your question, of course it does!

19 x 82 =1,558

inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 20 October 2021, consecutive.

My best friend was so fat he was stricken,
He’d tried every fad diet for to quicken,
Ten consecutive days,
He ate nothing but maize,
Day Eleven he gave in to fried chicken.
