Mathematics

Pessimists call Maths, abyss of a subject,
A subject invented to detest their brains,
A subject of arithmetical errors,
Errors, that need a heap of stint to complete the puzzle.
But to the Poet, I call it,
A common mistakes subject,
Like the Romeo and Juliet miscalculation,
That can only be nursed,
Long live Shakespeare though.
And long live Mathematics.

What about some logic,
2+2 =4.
3+1=4.
4*1=4.
Now let's glimpse at change of a question,
-1+2-3+4+2=4,
Seems different queries,
But always, one solution, one focal point!
Folks let's not elude maths,
Because we need it,
In Finance, Procurement, Marketing, Information Technology and Accounting among 
Long live Mathematics.

Dear Bryan, Mathematics can be a source of consternation to some, but I always did better in math than most other subjects. The best thing about math is that it is a universal language. No matter where we live, 1 + 1 = 2. :D Enjoyed your witty poem on this subject. Love, Carolyn
