MATHS TEACHER
It’s somewhat like a card trick
A mathematical wrist-flick
All those x s and y s
Surely you must be really wise
To civilians it’s a mystery algebraic
To teachers it is knowledge prosaic
Some is modern, some is archaic
A mathematical knowledge mosaic
You rhapsodise over differentiation
Or enthuse about a simultaneous equation
Drool over the intricacies of geometry
Discuss the various angles of trigonometry
You seem to do it with ease
Seems like a great deal of wisdom
It’s like you’re speaking Chinese
But they’re not from the Middle Kingdom
Truth is it’s like riding a bike
The more you do it, the more you like.
You just gotta train your mind
Till it’s no longer a pain in the behind.
