Everyday I Love Your Lesson Less

Less is more they often say,
but how is that possibly true?
Surely there isn't any way
that six is less than two?

Less is more, Ludwig opines;
is it some sub-textual trick?
Is there meaning between the lines
and am I being thick?

Less is more than enough, I find,
besides, you really mean few:
I mean, you keep that easily in mind,
when using some for two.
