the math equation

8 0 0
                                    

I'm a calculator

I mindlessly spit out numbers

All day long without error.


I never make mistakes,

I'm like that imaginary friend,

who never takes breaks

and runs without end.


I can solve anything

Just type it in

I'll solve it before you can sing

a single note or lose a pin.


The only thing I can't do

is write a poem.

I can't ask, "What are you up to?"

or invite you into my home.


I'm no poetic genius,

but I am a mathematician.

I try not to make a fuss,

but I'm obviously terrible at creating a rhyming composition.


I'm a calculator

You can leave me to my math

And I will leave you to your maker.
