Fractions are knives
Slicing and dicing numbers into halves, thirds, quarters
                   Defiant denominator
                 Nemesis of a numerator
               I am prepared for you both
             My mind is a calculator shield
 I’m ready for your sharp daggering operational blows
                   Multiplying, dividing
                   Adding, subtracting
                   Fractions are knives
                  But I am well prepared

                                  - By Melissa Winfield
