A quire, a ream, and a score
Plus three into zero into four
Divided by seven
Minus two times eleven
It is five ten and not a bit more.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet's Note- Mathematical Limerick is devised by Leigh Mercer (1893-1977) , the British Wordplay and recreational mathematics expert.

A quire = 24 sheets of papers,20 quires = 1 ream = 480 sheets of papers (hand used papers - old system)
In new system -> machine used papers -> A quire = 25 sheets of papers,20 quires = 500 sheets of papers = 1 ream.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Wow! Kumarmani ji! A wonderful Mathematical Poem! This is exactly like our classical dance where the rhythm has be accurate, perfect and to the decimal point. One missing beat, the whole calculation goes wrong and the dancer can make a mistake. This inspires me to write a poem on the rhythmic beats of Mohiniattam. Thank you dear Kumarmani ji........10

Maths, music, and the Muse in poetry, they share a common heritage. There's a lot of music in maths and poetry, There's maths in music and poetry, And also there's poetry in maths, and in music (obvious) .
