ROMANTIC MATH

He was teaching her arithmetic,
Said it was his mission.
He kissed her once,
He kissed her twice,
And said, "Now that's addition."
And so he added smack on smack
In silent satisfaction.
She sweetly gave him kisses back
And he said, "That's subtraction."
Then he kissed her as she kissed him
With naught an explanation.
Then both together smiled and said,
"Hurrah for multiplication!"
Her dad appeared upon the scene
And made a quick decision.
He kicked the lad three blocks away,
And that was long division.
