Times tables blues

3 times 3 is 9. 4 times 12 is 48. These are the facts of life, and they got me down. I got the times tables blues somethin' awful, and the only respite for the pain in my heart-organ is a tall glass of mineral water. Why, there's one now!

I get in a taxy. "Follow that glass of mineral water!"

"The tall one?" asks the taxy driver.

"No, the short one." I sarcastically reply, rolling my eyes like dice in a cup. But the taxy driver doesn't catch my sarcasm and he follows the wrong glass of mineral water. Therefore the times tables blues haunt me forever. DAM THAT TAXY!
