Calculate

The provision that's really quantitative,

Above all others is the calculation.

Does the calculation make you shiver?

does it?

Calculations, however hard they try,

Will always be statistical.

Do calculations make you shiver?

do they?

Just like gifted students, is the mathematician.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the mathematician,

Gently it goes - the oily, the productive, the profitable.

The rock that's really zany,

Above all others is the calculus.

Are you upset by how buffoonish it is?

Does it tear you apart to see the calculus so unreasonable?

Linguistics, however hard they try,

Will always be theoretical.

Do linguistics make you shiver?

do they?

How happy are arithmetical students!

Do students make you shiver?

do they?
