ARITHMETIC
Carl Sandburg
Arithmetic is where numbers fly like
pigeons in and out of your head.
Arithmetic tells you how many you
lose or win if you know how
many you had before you lost or
won.
Arithmetic is seven, eleven all good
children go to heaven-or five,
six bundles of sticks.
Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze
from your head to your hand to
your pencil to your paper till you
get the answer.
Arithmetic is where the answer is
right and everything is nice and
you can look out of the window
and see the blue sky-or the
answer is wrong and you have to
start all over and try again and
see how it comes out this time.
If you take a number and double it
and double it again and then
double it a few more times, the
number gets bigger and goes
higher and higher and only
arithmetic can tell you what the
number is when you decide to
quit doubling.
Arithmetic is where you have to
multiply-and you carry the
multiplication table in your head
and hope you won’t lose
If you have two animal crackers, one
good and bad, and you eat
one and a striped zebra with
streaks all over him eats the other,
how many animal crackers will
you have if somebody offers you
five six seven and you say No no
no and you say Nay nay nay and
you say Nix nix nix
If you ask your mother for one fried
egg for breakfast and she gives you
two fried eggs and you eat both of
them, who is better in arithmetic,
you or your mother?
