Munday on Monday: Summing up the problem

A simple chore proves hit and miss

In adding up a numbers list.

I get the sum, then run it through

Again — and then a third time, too.

My aggravation you can see:

I get three sums — yet none agree!

So who’s to blame — the perpetrator —

The little plastic calculator?

The fault I must in shame confess…

My skills at math: a total mess.
