My Dog Addition

my dog just loves to add!

I got a new dog,
Addition’s his name,
He lives in the kitchen,
Eating’s his game!

Each morning, Addition,
Adds to his weight,
To him, any dog food,
Tastes good, or tastes great!
He started at 4 pounds,
But added 4 more,
The sum came to 8 pounds,
He stuck in our door…
The next day he added!
He added 8 more!
The sum was 16,
He was growing galore!

I yelled, “That’s enough!
Don’t grow any bigger!
Any more pounds,
Is too heavy to figure!”
But he added again,
The sum was real bad,
16 + 16
I felt kind of mad…
32 pounds,
He looked like a hog,
Couldn’t walk, or go swimming,
Or chase balls, or jog!!

Addition kept adding,
And putting on pounds,
Until his stomach did gurgle,
With groaning-type sounds!
Now Addition’s so big,
It’s just a sad fact,
I’ll need dog, Addition,
To learn to subtract..
