Numbers, you've made me dance enough!

I have a strong bonding with you since my birth,

Yet, in most cases you' ve played with my breath!

 

‘cause you are ever raising when it comes to my age,

And ever ceasing when it comes to my bank balance!

Bills give a slight ache in my rib cage,

Just a digit difference when it comes to the lottery chance!

 

You stole my childhood in the form of Arithmetic,

In grads, marks was a field that was problematic,

My youth passed keeping count of my crush's girlfriends,

Still accounting the loss of my teeth till my life ends!

 

The Sudoku has spoiled my sportsman spirit,

Snake and Ladder has given me Roller Coaster threats,

Binary just zeroes and ones, Damn! there lies permutations,

Lost life's chemistry balancing you in the chemical equations!

I enjoy numbers, was never a math wizard but I enjoy them! I am definitely
becoming a fan my friend, your style is so unique and I am drawn to your
work, I'm doing a number piece soon, maybe tonight, you
have first dips, lol:) Thanks for sharing my talented friend and b-blessed!

[Deepika]

haha that would be a delightful read :D Thanks a lot James :)) Not that I hate maths ,perhaps keeping up with the time frame(now that's again accounting the seconds or what so ever..) and racking my brain towards the solution simultaneously is a little tedious job ;)

[Jamestown]

I can totally understand the frustration there!

[Mayank]

I hate math, I really hate math. You will not buy this but I am working in an investment firm. I still hate maths.

[Deepika]

I understand your plight :D Thanks for stopping by Mayank :)

I had to read this several times before I got it. I am not sure about these lines:
You stole my childhood in the form of Arithmetic,
In grads, marks was a field that was problematic,

I am not sure if you meant in grades vs in grad? Over all the metaphors worked. Good job....

[Deepika]

Thanks Rico for your patience :) By 'grads' i mean graduation as there was a relief from mathematical subjects, yet numbers ruled in the form of marks/grades :P

[Roshan Nair]

I understand thy plight deepika..maths has messed around with way too many minds in time to keep a valid count of :P I like your sense of humour very much and it shines ever so brilliantly in your poetry :) nice work again!

[Deepika]

This was an incredibly funny read for me:) it was framed so innocently, yet there was a tinge of sarcasm decorating the edge of your words. I like how you drew in everyday examples and make them astonishingly extraordinary to the reader(me!) A really fun-loving and light-hearted piece to start the day!Thank you for sharing!

[Deepika]

Thank you friend. Glad you liked it:)
