This poem personifies fractions as knives that slice and dice numbers into halves, thirds, and quarters, with the denominator posed as a nemesis to the numerator. The speaker asserts being prepared and well-armed with a calculator mind shield to withstand the sharp, operational blows of multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting fractions.

Fractions are knives extended metaphor poem
1. Fractions are knives
Slicing and dicing numbers into halves, thirds, quarters
Defiant denominator
Nemesis of a numerator
I am prepared for you both
My mind is a calculator shield
I’m ready for your sharp daggering operational blows
Multiplying, dividing
Adding, subtracting
Fractions are knives
But I am well prepared
