Maths Teacher

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.
