He's teaching her arithmetic,

He said it was his mission,

He kissed her once,

he kissed her twice

And said, "Now that's addition.

***

"As he added smack by smack

In silent satisfaction,

She sweetly gave the kisses back

And said, "Now that's subtraction.

***

"Then he kissed her, she kissed him,

Without an explanation,

And both together smiled and said,

"That's multiplication.

***

"Then Dad appeared upon the scene

andMade a quick decision.

He kicked that kid three blocks away

And said, "That's long division!"
