Math Parody

This is another parody of a hymn! This time the hymn is "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder". No, I am not in school, but math class often brought me to tears! When the bell of school is ringing, and it's time for math to start, And the numbers make my head spin real fast; When the teacher starts his lecture over on the lesson board, And the lesson plans are shouting, come to hell! And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking, And the algebra is mocking, come to hell! On the homework long and tedious, when the lesson leaves my brain, and I forgot what the teacher shared in class, When answer book isn't helpful and the eraser rips the page And the algebra is mocking, come to hell! And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking, come to hell! I can learn this lesson for math, from class to class again. I just need it slowed down to let it sink in, When much review is happened And I have cried my tears, And the algebra is mocking, come to hell! And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking And the algebra is mocking, And the algebra is mocking, come to hell!

I do side by sidea when I write parody's, that way I can visualize the lines and get them to match up. By the way be sure to check out my poems called "Orchestrated" and "If The Church" as those two are my cream of the crop best poems.
