Long Decimals Poems

We’re lucky to have a math-whiz kid
And one day this is what he did.

He said we all know about going number two
Now I’ve sorted out the decimals too.

First, there’s the basic, number two
Which chiefly, is...

Dewey decimals assemble 
our common presence. 
Your horticulture hands hide 
that landscaping manual's lengthy title, 
but this is my isle 
and I've held that identical gardening guide 
like a potted plant.

Your sensuous musk spirals through...

Subtraction

If you subtract your bad self, 
In every way, every part as best you can,
Then you’ll find better health,  
And other people won’t suffer a ban.

PLUTO

The name conjures up a lot
Dopey Disney dog extra to the plot
Forgotten one-time planet of the night
Not a Jupiter giant, gassy bright,
I’m just a small rocky ball
Nowhere near the sun at all
Cold enough to freeze...

To be sung to the tune of Both Sides Now by Judy Collins

Rows and rows of subtrahends
Repeating decimals without end
Regression lines to mark a trend
	I've looked at numbers that way

you hang...

Is infinity into infinity just the inverse,
Of infinity squared?
Even...

The flat evening
In the bowl
In the swing
Absolute control

In the sky
The gray air
A little shy
The white hair

In the morning
The beta blocker
In the evening
The scripture and prayer

The river was tranquil
Neither the ripples nor the whistles
The chest peaceful

The Decimals Point 
David J Walker

Therefore 
	He put forth
Before 
the court 
Of public opinion could
Possibly adjourn 

Claiming to be friends
With the man in the moon

Claiming to be the father of
The color purple 

Claiming to have...

Natural numbers, big or small
Include no zero among them all
Including numbers 123
Excluding fractions, as you can see

Whole numbers are one step up
Add a zero, and add them up
To get a simple 0 1 2
There is...
