Schooling Numbers Poem by shimon weinroth

In the school there is a desk
And chair for everyone there
Blackboard and chalk to teach you to talk

To read and write, to do your sums
That 1 comes first and 2 is second
3 comes before 4 and 5
7 is after 6

8 sounds like he has had his fill
And 9 knows when to dine
10 is the head of this group
0 means less than 1

They are all friendly and a lot of fun to add,
Multiplying makes them fat
Subtracting and dividing makes them quite thin
Michael, they will always be, here and there

Units that you can rely and count on
Figure them out, use them
They are the gateway,
To the stars and beyond
