I can add or take away, But remainders always spoil my day. Column addition makes me sigh, "Why do they pile these things so high?" Fractions are only part of my grief, And decimals give me no relief. I've worn some flowers in my hair, But never seen a root that's square. I'm told my factor isn't prime, And I can't even tell the time. Rectangles look like squares to me. "Hey Dude, what is an LCD?" I've drawn some angles that are round, Do grams or ounces make a pound? Here's a fact that I find profound: Pi "r" squared measures something round! First it's a numeral, then a number. The things I learned just made me dumber. If you want an answer, catch me later, I'm in the dark with my calculator. But I finally learned to do 'em right, Then took algebra and WOW, I'm bright. So now my numbers are a breeze. I even know my X, Y, ZZZZZZZZ. —Grandpa Tucker |
