My Early Mathematics: A Tenderfoot
One for Little Finger,
Two for Ring,
Three for Middle and
Four for Index,
Five for Thumb;
One-to-one correspondence!
The flock of birds flying on the sky:
Patterns!
Pebbles, marbles and clay-balls:
Polyhedra, and Spheres!
The catapult pointing at birds:
Angles!
Uh! Complete Natural Geometrical symbols!
To fill a mug to the brim: Limit!
A ring round the moon is pi times d!
Left over right palm: Symmetrical!
Mats of straw: Square and rectangle!
In the world of abstract and transcendental
This was my early Mathematics: A Tenderfoot!
At the horizon when I used to look!
