I'M Doing Just Fine Counting To Nine

I'm no expert mathematician
Can't do algebraic addition
And solving quadratic equations
are way beyond my expectations
Both hands counting as some people teach
even number ten is beyond reach
A sharp blade took a finger digit
But I thinking I'm doing just fine
I can add five with four equals nine
