This is a throw-away, but doing it mildly amused me. I had just read a bunch of limericks from a couple books I have a mathematical literature.
A young girl that I adore
tells me 2 + 2 = 4.
I tell her it's true,
but what can I do
when she proves to be such a bore?
This young girl says 3 + 3
= 6, and I agree.
A mathematician
may love such addition,
but I must confess that's not me.
She says 4 + 4 = 8.
It's something I cannot debate,
but it bores me stiff.
My dear girl, if
you'd sing 4 / 4 time, 'twould be great.
Is addition all you can do
with numbers? Songs have numbers too
You have a great voice,
so sing: I'll rejoice
in numbers, and more adore you.
