9 times 1 is 9,
10 minus 1 is also 9,
11 minus 2ย ย is still 9,
Math tricks could be divine!
1 plus 1 is 2,
2 people can make life cool.
2 times 2 makes a family of 4,
Toys and books are all over the floor.
4 times 6 is a class in school,
24 kids do math in a zoo.
5 times 6 is a banquet near the ocean,
Where decent folks do their celebration.
6 times 6 is 36,
You see pigeons dwell on streets 4 weeks.
7 times 7 is the joy of heaven,
60 minus 49 is eleven.
8 times 8 is the island near a shore,
10 times 10 makes the perfect score.
9 times 9 sends you back home
10 minus 9 is the rhythm of the poem.
