A third of six behind them fix
A third of six before, Thus makes two nines, when all combines Exactly fifty-four.
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |

This answer seems far-fetched, but perhaps it's what you're going for.
Start with two (Roman numeral) nines: IX IX Stick an "S" (one third of "SIX" ) at the beginning...and another "S" at the end to get: SIX IXS Translation: six IXs which can mean 9+9+9+9+9+9 which equals 54. This isn't it, is it? Stan Alger |
