DIGITAL CONCEPTIONS

Maths all day!

Communicating numbers off the page,

Programming the younger generation

for the Electronic Age.

But computers need a very

So, feeling somewhat alienated,

Teacher sits and ponders.

Puzzled by the mystery numbers,

Watching the smiling children

While his imagination wanders ...
