Mr. R.’s World of Math

I played in mud,
And dirt, and grime,
Walked on home,
Feeling fine…
Mom was there,
Washing pans,
Here’s some hand soap,
For your hands…

Keep it off,
Those other parts,
Hand soap knows,
Its got smarts…
In the bathroom,
Thoughts arose,
What does hand soap,
Do to toes?

I poured it,
Squished it,
On my feet,
Rubbed it in,
Felt some heat…
Then my feet,
They faded out,

I got scared,
Began to shout…
Three days later,
Feet came back,
But what I learned,
Is this fact…
Just like drums,
Are played in bands,

Hand soap’s only,
Used on hands…
