Primes

Primes are divisible only by themselves.

They don’t like to socialise

To produce a few composites

Pure they remain

Like a pope in a rain

 

You are the only one

Who can conjugate with a prime

The result, I’m afraid, is one and the same.

 

Eratosthenes once threw a prime on a sieve

It bounced back and created a scene

He concluded that it was pristine

 

You can, of course, add two primes

Surprisingly, it produces not a prime

But every other number on a dime

So, let’s just say

they are not worth your time
