mumps explained why you missed

your math quiz

 

or was it your new lesson?

welp you got a nice reason –

 

not that I like having

my wrinkled neck swelling

 

but the idea of my skin there smoothened

is by far better than it ruined;

 

nor do I even remember

any one special number

 

like 0.123333333333… for instance

whose fractal, no – fraction form I know perchance.

 

but that one’s really easy we agree

unlike 0.232323232323…

 

nah don’t ask me to figure it out

'coz I’m a 3-time college drop-out;

 

I suck at math like many a senile professor

though frankly I like it best from year 5 heretofore.

 

there’s this number 41378 that we came to know

with no apparent add-ons nor tricks to show.

 

it doesn’t command so much mind stuff

so we own it we who come short at nuffin enuff.

 

and a very egotistic gift is in order, boxed, wrapped, ribboned –

yeah he still carries the Whirled in that way old-fashioned.

 

how warped and ripboned turn you off is not so surprising, haha

so out of sync like she lingering on that intellectual faux pas.

 

oh

OK

 

I contradict me and I’m my own handyman and I got to fix me a g®in

maybe box my way there 'coz my feet are stuporic and I can box me from within.
