It should come as no big suprise <br />That Algebra, with all its Xs and Ys <br />Along with its tasteless inedible PIs <br />Is the cause of many students demise <br /> <br />A subject students find distressing <br />Is Algebra with its Ys and its Xing <br />Along with abstract symbolic excess-ing <br />Faulted for many a student depressing <br /> <br />Another study that’s not quite a beaut <br />Is Geometry with its angles acute <br />Its content considered of ill repute <br />By students most likely not too astute <br /> <br />Most pupils would rather hang from a noose <br />Than learn Geometry with its angles obtuse <br />For low grades they’ve a ready excuse <br />Their belief Geometry for them has no use <br /> <br />How wrong they are with their thinking so hazy <br />Blatantly cocksure, more likely just lazy <br />Most civilized progress is based on reliance <br />Of Geometry and Algebra, the language of science<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/algebra-and-geometry/
