When thief heard me say 4,
Strange things occurred,
Number Thief grew smaller,
At the sound of the word…

That is, he shriveled,
Like toes in a bath,
I guess he didn’t like,
When I completed his math!
I ran to the yard,
The thief he did follow,
He yelled 5 + 5,
I felt myself swallow,
What’s that again?
5 + 5 is your joke?
Number Thief growled,
I gave him a poke…
I don’t need any paper,
I don’t need any pen,
I whispered to say,
5 + 5 is just ___
