Mr. R.’s World of Math

A snaggle-toothed tiger,
With fuzzy brown snout,
Slapped a green rock,
And started to shout,
I’m Snaggle-tooth tiger,
To tell you today,
Getting is better than giving, I say!
Give me fruit ice cream,
Give me fruit cake,
Give me fruit cupcakes,
Give me fruit shake…
I don’t like to give,
I just like to get,
If it’s your birthday,
I’m sure to forget…
Give me pineapples,
Give me a ball,
Give me some money,
To shop at the mall…
Give me a cherry,
With cherries on top,
Give me the world,
No reason to stop…
I don’t like to give,
I just like to get,
If it’s your birthday,
I’m sure to forget…
On Snaggle-tooth’s birthday,
He expected a lot,
Did he get what he wanted?
The answer is NOT!
Snaggle-tooth learned,
If take’s all you do,
You’ll be getting no gifts,
And liking it too…
Now Snaggle-tooth knows,
Like smoke knows its stack,
To receive birthday gifts,
You better give back…
