Euler's Match

Our math match was never going to be 
Algebra and simple linear me 
my family drew a dividing line 
differences were more than bloodline 

complex family arguments ensued 
many comments expressed were pretty lewd 
long divisions left not even a carry 
only we could see a point of marry 

cos x plus i sin x was a clear match 
a perfect solution not a mismatch 
Richard Feynman called this match “our jewel”
Euler proved he was no body’s math fool 

he matched Algebra to Geometry 
a beautiful formula we agree
