Lewd Division

At first there was amorous addition,
soon followed by sexual subtraction.
And then came perverse multiplication,
leading naturally to lewd division.
Some drew the line at pornographic calculus,
after struggling through hot geometry,
Then they put away their slide rules and protractors
and went off on a tangent about the offensive nature
of numbers, how gross they found pi r squared,
and the first time they saw isosceles
in the hypotenuse position. The remainder
is a cube root, to be sure.
