Subtraction Limericks

Subtraction is something I try,
To remove what got caught in my eye,
It’s just take away,
At least that’s what they say,
It works, but don’t ask me why…

Subtraction finds, what you might say,
The difference between numbers, hooray!
Between 7 and  9,
Is 2 every time,
I’m using subtraction today!

Subtraction makes numbers too small!
Addition complained to a wall,
Things should be large,
Like trucks or a barge,
Giant, and heavy, and tall…

Subtraction is one type of math,
That puts me right there on the path,
For when I make change,

That’s why it’s so strange ,
To incur my customer’s wrath…

Small squirrel summoned subtraction,
Saying she strived for some action,
She slurped up some seeds,
And burped as she sneezed,
A subtraction allergic reaction?
