Math

Math is a subject which requires thinking, 
Instead of working, coke you are drinking, 
You think that you need just a short rest, 
Instead of striving to do your best. 

It is no use staring at your book, 
Your brain will feel that it is starting to cook. 
You must try out many sums, 
Before going out to play in the Sun. 

You may wish you didn't have to think, 
Because your pen is low on ink. 
You need to learn to do mental sums, 
Or else for you math will not be fun!
