A logarithm is a handy guy,
And this is the reason why:
In your algorithm
You add the logarithms
When you multiply.
Of logarithms this is a quirk,
And it makes the slide rule work.
Hey, I'm so old a guy
That I know from times gone by
How a slide rule works.
The good old slide rule
Was a mighty fine tool.
It was a dandy
That came in handy
For doing your work at school.
