Behold my small-quilt | With spots sewn onto blue! / Eleven-spots total. | That’s more than a few. / There’s white-spots & yellow | In equal-amount. / Then a red-spot is a lone-spot, | It’s the one Odd-Man-Out. / ‘But wait, look, your math’s wrong,’ | I hear you say. / ‘Those colors aren’t even. | Absolutely, no way!’ / Well, let me show you | How wrong you can be. / Just hold on a second! | Just you wait & see! / If you were to look | On the back of my quilt, / You’d find there’s another | Spot that I built. / Now if you tally | The white-spots & yellow / You’ll find I really am | Quite-a-smart-fellow. / I can add the spots | Of white, yellow, & red / On this little-quilt | That won’t fit any-bed. / Now for addition, | Red plus yellow plus white, / It’ll take all-ten-fingers | And one-toe to get right. / But when we complete it | I think you will find / Eleven’s the number | That you have in mind.
