It’s bad enough to
Take remedial math
Freshman year
Worse yet – I am
The oldest in the room
At 60 and counting
Counting! Ha – ha
Made a math joke
Well, sorta
I’m surrounded by youth
Freshly scrubbed and
YOUNG youth
Trying to remember
Multiplication tables
In my head . . . wait
What the heck is THIS?
A sheet of symbols
+ – x (got it – know those)
Teacher, erm, Professor?
Sorry to be dense here
I know I seem a dunce to many
I know some of this
But now I’m lost
< >
I have NO clue!
