Family Mathematics

I was an only child
I had it ALL….
THEN…
The new addition showed up
My room was divided
my drawer space now minus two
because “they” chose to multiply.

You have proven the 'wisdom' of Orwell's '1984:' MULTIPLICATION IS DIVISION.' Good one, John. ~ Gershon

Hello John Lawless, now you have to share your room and draws. Enjoy your day my friend.

And it only multiplies with more additions ...exponentially! Good poem, John.
