numbers are a silly thing
they start at one two three
teachers always tried to say
how important they can be
seven was a lucky one
and so was twenty-three
odd they say both they are
if odd can numbers be
I never liked to divide them up
you would end up with a dot
If you had to multiply
confusing more than not
some of them went together
like a six was twice of three
but nineteen to an eight lets say
is beyond the thoughts of me
There’s other things with math I think
like something they call pi
to tell that number to a friend
will last until you die
divide the adds that you subtract
and multiply by three
and if it makes no sense at all
a philosopher you shall be…

I can almost see this poem being published in a geometric shape-by-stanza fashion. Oh Math... so important, so tedious :p

Numbers are my enemy, but this was fun :)

I guess that is the whole point. Turns things around and make fun of them....
