FIVE GOOD GIANTS

ARITHMETIC GIANT, most wise, never slumbers;

His is the science which teaches of numbers.

His cousin GEOGRAPHY treats of Ma Earth

And all of her children to whom she gave birth.

His aunt PHYSIOLOGY brings to us wealth,

Describing our bodies and how to have health.

His grandma called GRAMMAR tells how to use

Good language at all times in spreading the news.

Great LITERATURE teaches of many a work

Written by authors who never would shirk

From learning a little just day after day

By listening to what the wise giants would say

Who led them to drink from the great Knowledge Fount

And thus to FAME'S LADDER helped them to mount.
