When I first heard the word 'average'
I thought, neither good nor bad
When when I was told 'You're just average,'
I thought, not good, and I was sad
Then I learned average was middle
Of two opposite extremes
It was also called the median
Whatever median means
When you think of the body
We have ten fingers and ten toes
Two eyes and ears, and smiles and tears
One mouth, two lips, one nose
Most people have ten fingers
But everybody knows
Some off folk have one, or none
Where the lost ones went, no-one knows
The result is, you could say
The 'average' man has five
That's counting those born dead
A thousand years, as well as still alive
So am I brainy, above average?
Depends who you ask. Who knows?
Don't worry. I'm glad to say I've got
The average number of toes.
