Climbing the Tree of Calculus

Susan Cantey © 2007

 

Gonna tell you the story of a boy named Zach,

Minding his business on hid granddad’s ranch,

Walking through a field of contented cows, he bumped into a tree,

Well Zach was a strong athletic youth,

He did what any other boy would do,

Took a deep breath and began to climb,

Didn’t know that he would be….

 

Climbing,

Climbing,

Climbing the tree of Calculus!

 

The trunk was slick, he was losing his grip,

Cried out for help as he started to slip,

Then below he felt some hands and voices yelling “Don’t stop!”

John and Maggie, Alex and Alyssa,

Evan and Matthew, Sam and Amina,

Nirmal, Michael, Lei and Zach,

Were on their way to the top!

 

Climbing,

Climbing,

Climbing the tree of Calculus!

 

(instrumental bridge – this is for you Joel, you wacky programming kid!)

 

Climbing,

Climbing,

Climbing the tree of Calculus!

 

Climbing,

Climbing,

Climbing the tree of Calculus!
