While trying to configure ^this IP address into my computer for sorting out intarwebs, I got annoyed at it not working. So, here is a poem about how I am a letter, not a number:

I am not a number.
I am a letter.
I don’t have a whole or decimal place
I don’t have a multiple or mathematical grace.
I am not divisible
Into my constituent parts
I need only ink
To create my marks.
I am on my own- I need no sign
Multiply, add, subtract- they’re not mine.
I have no way to give myself value
But I need no equals to show it to you.
A number will always need others to be
But I am a letter- I need only me.
Numbers try to give the answer to you
But all I ask- “Is the question true?”
A number is either right or wrong
A number cannot make a song
Or break a heart- but a letter can
A number only follows a plan
One plus one must equal two
But with a letter- that’s just not true.

Ah, the annoyances of maths and numbers.

Pure genius there ArcT. Pure genius.
You gotta love letters over numbers.

I think that is a very clever and quirky poem. Brilliantly done mate.
