THEME THURSDAY EQUALS ... ?

=

An ‘equals’ symbol two lines show,

One is above and one below:

At showing ‘equal’, that’s a flop,

For one line’s always on the top!

ll

Equality might greater be

If lines had verticality?

But that is also not so bright -

One’s always left; the other right!

+

Should, then, a plus sign make the grade?

No, with success that can’t be laid;

For such opposing lines reflect,

Additionally, wrong effect!

x

‘X’ would then seem to be the best

To get equality addressed –

But still, with that, you’d lose the plot:

X multiplies to mark the spot!
