Notes About The Poem

A School Maths Tutorial

O.K., let’s see where you are with your math, 
Which areas do we need to work through.
Algebra, space, number, or measurement, 
Which topic do you need to review?

Today, algebra, a fantastically obtuse idea,
Instead of numbers, use letters, counting the ABC’s.
By the end of this tutorial you’ll love these letters, 
Counting everything with ease.

Words like simplify, expand, and collect like terms,
Will become your new second diction.
Don’t use these letters like in tedious essays,
Nor like when expressing your poetic fiction.

Algebra strives to abbreviate everything, 
Every single concept’s to be generalized.
It establishes an effective working formula, 
Making it all neat, sleek, tidy, and stylized.

But don’t ask me who uses this at work, 
Laborers, builders or for financial investments.
Just make sure you use it next Monday morning, 
When you’re sitting your math exam assessments.
