Corporal Geometry

Corporal Geometry
informed Private Equation,
"W’ell have to take Right Angle Hill
if we’re to save this nation."
But Major Addition
said there was one condition.
It seemed Sergeant Subtraction
had seen too much combat action.
So Colonel Long Division
made a tactical decision.
Send Captain Algebra
up the hill as last hurrah.
"His men aren’t averse to dying,
and they’re always multiplying."
General Mathematics states,
"He wins who better calculates."
