Practical application

Dan Clark

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 and
Made a quick decision.
He kicked that kid three blocks away
And said, "That's long division!"
