Inchworm, 2 and 2 are 4

This inch worm song has been going through my head for the last 3 days.  Maybe because so much of my job has become metrology and dealing with dimensional data on millions of parts, repaired in dozens of global shops.  When I used to go to afternoon kindergarten, walking one block down the street from my parnets' home to the elementary school that is now a "christian" church, I used to sing this to myself from time to time, having just watched Sesame Street, with a stomach full of white bread peanut butter & jelly.sandwich and a glass of Pleasant View Dairy whole milk.  I dunno.  Maybe, when under severe stress, the human mind reverts back to comforting things from childhood, from the past, to help re-ground, re-establish a foundation on which to face the challenges of the present?

An inchworm once told me:
2 and 2 are 4.
4 and 4 are 8.
8 and 8 are 16.
16 and 16 are 32. 
(if the data is taken & entered & uploaded correctly on the marigolds, where it can then be analyzed...  sure)
