rith-ma-tic in Words that Rhyme

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…
