I find it hard to concentrate
Especially during math.
Six plus seven is…”wait, did you see
That squirrel running up the path?”

Six plus seven is…”Hi there John.
I like your shirt, I do.”
Oh, six plus seven is something.
Hold on. Ah, ah, ah, choo.

Once again now, six plus seven
Wow, this is hard for me.
“I wonder if after recess,
We’ll have a spelling bee?”

Six plus seven, then eight, nine, ten.
What did I hear you ask?
Six plus seven…I’ve no idea.
What a ridiculous task.

“You must concentrate, try harder.”
Well of course I’m hearing you.
Fact is, I am trying harder.
That’s all I ever do.

My mind jumps quickly, turns and spin.
I feel I’m quite a mess.
Six plus seven…Is it thirteen?
Calm down, that was just a guess.
