Sure - that'd REALLY work!! :)

And the Lord spake, saying, Thou shalt count to four, no more, no less.
Four shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the
counting shall be four. Five shalt thou not count, nor either count
thou three, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Six is right
out. Once the number four, being the fourth number, be reached, then
shalt thou stop as this be the correct sum
Obviously I'm not very good at this as I couldn't come up with a decent
ending to it

BTW, if some native speaker writes 'should of' that definitely sounds
strange - to say the least - to the rest of us who actually had to sit
through English lessons since it wasn't our first language.

It appears that Python has an answer for everything, doesn't it? Except for
The Meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything, which was supplied by
Douglas Adams and is, as we all know, "Forty-two".
