when I consider decimals  
splendid in their agility  
and their innate ability  
to count the infinitesimals

and now, old Roman numerals  
extinct, numeric dinosaurs  
for those of you, who’re keeping scores  
they use them – still -- to test your skills  
converting, simply for the thrills  
those math teachers can sure be bores
