Sums by Linda McCarthy The boys and girls were running around Inside the school playground With cars coming round In time to hear the first bell sound The children quickly went inside And heard the teacher say: "Please get out your copy books We'll study sums today." "I told you some things yesterday And now I'll tell you more: Let's start with two and two. Two and two equals four Tomorrow I shall bring to you a A special tables chart And you must all remember them And learn them off by heart Tommy sat up in his seat His hand waving high "What do you want?" the teacher asked Said Tommy in reply: "You're two and two cannot be four Oh no, they just can't be, 'Cos yesterday you told us four Was made from one and three."
