A poem by BlueBerryBuddy
Starting as just a dot,
Math has come quite far,
From cavemen counting herds,
To pharaohs stacking bricks.
Babylon came first,
60’s were the digits.
Making seconds, minutes, hours,
With 5,00 years come and gone.
Then there came Egyptians,
Counting looking down,
10 was the new,
With fingers and toes.
Calculators with no key keyboard,
No computers to depend,
No batteries, electricity,
Hands, pencils, paper.
If one day math did disappear,
Buildings all upside down,
Homes in a mess,
All inventions destroyed.
Learning how to count,
Adding or subtracting,
Even multiplying and dividing,
The world would surely,
END!
