In The Annals of Divorce
Higgledy-piggledy
Andrew O'Herlihy
Had math disability
All his life long
He couldn't do checkbooks
He couldn't do bills
Couldn't read math books
Without ritalin pills
His wife had embezzled
A quarter mill
Before he knew what was wrong
Higgledy-piggledy
Andy got raggedy
Andy got credit-scammed
Andy got screwed
And then when they broke up
She got the mansion
He got the Mastercard bills
He got a shoebox of bills
Due to numerical
Hyperdyslexia
He now takes hustle-up pills
Alas
But now he can do all the bills
[Note: To "higgle" a pig
is to fatten it up, by little degrees,
for eventual sale or butchering.]
