Modern Math Is Not For Me

Tally marks, bar graphs, pie charts too
Mathematic formulas make me blue
Geometry turns my purple blood cold
The new math makes me feel truly old

Arithmetic word problems are my forte’
When I read them, I say this is okay.
X minus Y may indeed be twenty-three
But please keep modern math away from me
