Cero Patatero

Zero zilch
There are numbers that bring good luck
there are others that luck doesn't favor
There are numbers that help people
when someone needs to settle accounts
There are numbers that serve little purpose
and others that are useless even when adding
and there's one that in my notes above all
my teachers insist on using
Zero, zero, zero zilch in French
they give me zero, zero
Zero zilch in grammar
zero, zero zilch in English

Zero is an unfriendly number
Round, boring, and chubby
A closed and enigmatic circle
that looks more like an old snail
I don't know why the teacher and the teachers
insist on using it with love
and they put so many zeros in my notes
that they seem like a million

Zero, zero, zero zilch what a calamity
cero, zero, zero zilch in lucidity
they give me zero, zero
Zero zilch in computer science
Zero, zero, zero zilch in common sense
