Notes About The Poem

It’s In the Numbers


Two plus two equals four...unless it doesn’t.
Every young student learns the rules… as taught them.
Higher education muddles it all…with complex theorems.

This one reminds me of history. I liked it a first, when there were only good guys and bad guys. Then, it got to complex, and I turned to...math! It does seem like everything gets complicated and unknowable.

I always loved mathematics (and physics) and found them fascinating. Onward and upward... :)

' Two plus two equals four...unless it doesn’t. ' Giggling, because this is soooo true. Math has changed completely ! Crazy, indeed. Just love this image, Linda. It goes perfectly with your words. Thanks for the smile this evening. :) Hugs, Brandy

Even Einstein and his wacko tongue know that 2 + 2 = 5. ~ BIG BROTHER
