Willis Watkins was a wizard at figures, Could add column in trice He wrote lovely neat little numbers His books were accurate and nice Everyone said of wizard Willis, What fine accountant he makes, Never made an error on entries, A man of very few mistakes He could talk in terms mathematical, Add up much more than two and two, In mental calculation he was wonder, And figured to a cent what was due. Willis Watkins was an arithmetician, But his thoughts weren't on figures all day. He fancied himself farmer-gentleman Riding high load of hay. Instead of adding figures in ledgers He had a yen to plant and to mow. Substituting for his pages of figures Nice vegetables row upon row.
