Six Times Seven

       Six Times Seven

Six times seven is forty-two.
The root of nine is three.
I wonder though, how the log of ten
ever came to be?

Why does nine to zero power
equal unity.
And how can eight bent on its side
become infinity?

Who says the integral of  X
is X squared divisor two.
And how can a decimal point
diminish without leaving a clue?

The answers I don't hope to know.
Math to me was always queer.
But this I'll tell to those who care,
it causes feeble minds to sear!
