The Cue, Clue and Glue of Mathematics

I never dreamt Mathematics once a terror I’ve ever learnt From my life would delete a major error As I struggled to make sense Out of the labyrinth Mathematics built from the nonsense The terror in silly stealth Conveyed in minds That by dint of patience and perseverance Gleaned from underneath concepts, processes and procedure behind blinds Rewarded in a walk punctuated by persistence and insistence To spawn understanding Continually growing in incremental steps To facilitate a commanding Assimilation not through biceps or triceps But through pen and paper dedicated practice Through sweat and tears Carving justice Clearing all the fears Mathematics once held In my brain and in my attitude Until with misconceptions withheld Along grew fortitude and soared my latitude Prompting the belief That you, too Could cut out the mischief That claims you’ve got no Mathematics clue.
