Numbers so big, they're hard to grasp,
The scale their size, we can barely clasp.
From thousands to millions, to billions and more,
The magnitude boggles the mind, never before.
A thousand photos, one by one,
Just 16 minutes, they'd all be done.
Ten thousand faces, by one,
That's over 2 and a half hours, all said and done.
Big numbers, big numbers, so to comprehend.
A million, ten million, a billion round bend.
The scale is so vast, it's hard to understand,
The sheer size of these numbers, so immense and grand.
A hundred thousand, that's a sight to behold,
a day and a half, the story's been told.
million faces, all looked at one by one,
That's 11 and a half days, the viewing's been done.
Ten people, that's a lot to see,
Over a year a quarter, the viewing would be.
A hundred million, more than believed,
That's over 11 and a half years, the time it would need.
A billion faces, one one,
Over 31 and a half years, the viewing's done.
The scale of these numbers is truly profound,
their size, our minds can't quite sound.
Over 8 people in the world today,
To see them all by one, it would take over 250 years, so say.
The magnitude of these numbers is truly profound,
their scale, our minds can't quite sound.
