My Life Preserver


My Life Preserver
My Life Preserver

I can solve a problem
even though I'm swimming
deep in uncertainly.

I gasp for breath
to find a factor,
a multiple,  or a square root.

Is it prime?
Is it composite?
Do I add, multiply, or divide?

But I will not drown
because I have a life preserver.
My teacher will reach down in the
nick of time
and help me rescue myself.
