More Fear of Numbers

Fear of numbers is real They carry adding machines on their backs Attack with loaded numbered guns Divide, subtract, multiply the family by one Sneak up from behind derisively With two times the pleasure two times the fun Double their trouble running numbers up to one Digits on hands and toes repeat the question please Was it 2 or 3 feet just out of reach They are counting on you for sum protection To pull them through suggestions Children fear math and calculations like the plague Run from them at multiples of ten In a fraction of a second gone Poof!...Like zero, (Is that a real name and number?) Gone in a flash subtracted Figures hide behind accountants glasses Hitting you with tons of taxes Not to be divisive or derisive Taken down in dividends like math Numbers stay on tracks in one direction On trains I think they’re out to get me They have no class or paid for tickets In the end they have no = no + or - either Some things don’t add up You can count on that Numbers are real They don't lie Fear them because they are alive
