Arithmetic
Carl Sandburg
Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head. 1
Arithmetic tells you how many you lose or win if you know how many you had before you
lost or won.2
Arithmetic is seven eleven all good children go to heaven – or five six bundle of sticks.
Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand to your pencil to your
paper till you get the answer. 3
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. 4
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 bigger and goes higher and higher and only
arithmetic can tell you what the number is when you decide to quit doubling. 5
Arithmetic is where you have to multiply -- and you carry the multiplication table in your
head and hope you won't lose it. 6
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? 7
