I Am Bored With Math

I am bored with math. Two plus two always equals four. Why can't it equal an ice cream cone Or a trip to the candy store? Four plus four always equals eight- Never a video game, Or a Disneyland vacation. No, the answer's e'er the same! One times one always equals one. Where's the fun in that? I'd love to see the answer be A brand new baseball bat! by Cherie Durbin

What a cute poem, Cherie! Ditto to your sentiments on math. It bored the heck out of me in school, but I scored higher in math than verbal on my SATs. ??? Try doing the math on that. LOL Love and blessings for a happy Easter, Carolyn

love this poem. it took me back to my school days. I hated math. i told everyone, why do we have to have math. we are never going to use it. ha ha. little did i know, that i would be using math everyday of my life. this was a great one you wrote. thank you reading Christimas Time is Here and for your comment. i wrote that one a long time ago, 2006 i think it is only one i ever wrote about Christimas.
