  2. Bakers dozen is thirteen, you would just think they are greedy, talking most of their work just for themselves, and if there wasn’t anyone else. To come and eat the syrupy sweets, just to eat and rot your teeth, why can’t the bakers just make ends meet, and change all dozens to thirteen.

  3. There were a dozen eggs in the basket. All carefully arranged to make sure they didn’t crack against each other. But then the basket had been abandoned. It was just sitting in the middle of the farmyard, as if she had given up and disappeared into thin air.

  4. I’ve been trying to narrow down what I want to do with my future. A dozen ideas. That seems like a good goal. Now I’m somewhere around 1,000…

  6. The man had a dozen fingers. Most of his acquaintances didn’t notice, even when they shook his hand, unless he pointed it out. Still, he was self-conscious; he couldn’t help but think about it as a deformity. The kids in grade school had not been kind to him. By the time he was middle aged, he was pretty thick skinned about a lot of things.

  7. There were dozens of people out there. He could have talked to anyone, asked for an adress to the policewoman or that waiter with the funny mustache. But for some reason, he asked him. He chose him between dozens, hundreds of people. That, my friends, is called fate.

  8. a dozen new emails…I wonder who it is?

  11. I stood outside the rest stop bathroom. A dozen women stand before me. One hushes her child as he tugs on her arm. I consider driving to the next as I stare back at my car, the only red Ford Escape in the lot. It was too long to wait for a reminder that I belonged.

  12. Half a dozen people don’t know how to understand my feeling towards this guy I love, he’s just amazing but then again , half a dozen people don’t realize there are girls who love them. they just need to realize the love can be powerful.

  15. the roses come by a dozen and all i can feel is the thorns,

  20. Over a dozen were invited, yet none showed. The realm hadn’t been at peace since before the times of memory, and this was their opportunity to set that right. They all let it slip out of their fingers. There were many who sent squires with their regards and regrets, but in the end that was always an empty gesture. The ones with the power to change things, stayed at home.

  21. This makes no sense.
    You swore that you’d stay safe.
    You swore that you’d cope and heal your scars.
    I know how you feel;
    but this is
    madness,
    that you must live like this.
    I thought that you said you were sorry.
    I thought that you begged for forgiveness
    and swore to God that you didn’t mean it.
    But this?
    How could you do this again?

  22. Dozen of people share my dreams. Dozen of people will know success and fame. Dozen of people would rather jump than fall off. However, I’m the only one that’d die just to take off.

  24. A dozen eggs sat in the styrofoam container on the driveway, but she didn’t have that many chances. She leaned over slow and picked one up, the gurgling stream in the ravine down below creating a soothing white noise as she zeroed in on her target, imagining her hunter instincts crackle. The grey squirrel sitting on the beech tree branch took no notice of the slender child and the threat of her softball pitch.

  25. a dozen roses, a dozen donuts, a dozen rooms in the house – a dozen things on the to do list. Maybe this is the perfect years for dozens? Twelve months, twelve goals…..it might just work.

  28. Rounding the corner, a dozen boys came face to face with a strange and unusual destiny: the actual existence of flying monkeys. Their lives would never be the same as they raced on with these beasts. Every time they turned another corner, another flying monkey joined the throng.

  29. There were dozens of ways this could go. It could go completely as planned, or it could go in the complete opposite direction, and everything would be ruined. What I did know for sure, however, was that whichever direction it was headed, it was one direction, and that wouldn’t change. When I find out which way it went, I will follow it, until it leads me to what I need.

  30. There were a dozen bouquets in the hall, among the empty wine bottles and Yankee candles. I read the labels of the candles and wondered what Santa’s List could possibly smell like. Gym Socks maybe?

  31. I have written many of dozens of poems
    free verse
    in rhyme
    that do not and will not go anywhere
    yet, I find it is still important
    to continue on writing down meaningless strings of words
    that fit so nicely in my mind
    for out of a dozen
    maybe there is one
    just one
    that will make a difference

  33. There are half a dozen eggs in my fridge. Some of them cracked. Some of them half eaten. How to tell which ones have the fatal touch of salmonella? I guess only experiment.One by one by one. Cracking one open, letting the white slip through my fingers, relishing in the slightly solid texture of the yolk.

  38. After staring at the word ‘dozen’ for what feels like dozens of hours, but what has honestly been no more than thirty seconds, I have concluded that I have little feeling towards the number 12 or any of its synonyms and trying to conjure any sort of emotion that would possibly spur me onto writing a whimsical quip about it has left me frustrated…

  39. All it took was a dozen of well committed young men to bring to a halt the destruction that was happening in the village, by a GROUP OF LAWLESS MEN WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

  40. a dozen eggs for breakfast? That’s too many. The chickens won’t be able to keep up. Why did I marry a giant? I’ll never know. But I love her even though she’s a beast from toe to toe.
