Remainder Crazy

But he remained a division star
By putting it there behind an "r."
And soon it gave him satisfaction
To express remainders as a fraction.

His division life became quite hot
When he discovered that number dot.
For him those decimals became the rage
As he spread his remainders across the page.

Gus, with his math stuff by his side,
Has headed out to the "Great Divide."
Doing remainders all willy-nilly
Messed up his head and drove him silly.
