These are numerical expressions whose numerical value is equal to the number of letters it takes to express them in words.

"Four" is the only natural interger this is true of, but I found these improper fractions to which it also applies.

Very good. Fog comes in on little cat's feet (Robert Frost). Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats was the inspiration for the Broadway show "Cats." And cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt.

My internet is unclogged again, so in celebration:

Floating silberwurst
a spark, a flame, a great fall
a cliche is born

Pimped out blingster
lady bodyguards no help
needs a new home fast

eight points in two rows
snugly fit to make a house
outnumber humans
