Maths is all about no.s
Helping us to count.
And they go on and on and on
To an unimaginable amount!
A child aged 3 once said to me
That no.s start with 1, 2, 3.
But I said, "No! That's very wrong.
There are negative no.s too, you see!"
No.s, No.s of every kind
No.s, No.s even & odd
Rational, whole, fractional, prime
Positive, negative, composite ... GOOD GOD!!
I once aspired to be a mathematician
Now, I guess, it is a task too tall,
For even a hundred years is less
To learn about them all. |

This is really very cute. Math was never my best subject so I can certainly relate to this poem. I am still learning about them all to this day! I think this is a fine childrens poem, very light hearted and fun. And when it comes to math and numbers, anything that is fun is a bonus!! Good stuff!
