Algebra
Whilst algebra for many is so poorly understood
At school I put the effort in and I became quite good
Three apples being equal to a carrot and two pears
Was obvious, for camels are a donkey and two hares
A bicycle without a wheel was equal to a boat
But take away an apple and you’ve got a mountain

LETTERS AND NUMBERS
Words made up with their letters
Of consonants and vowels.
Paragraphs from sentences
Which serve as verbal bowels.
All letters from A to Z
Play an important role
Every time we read and write...
Each one has a goal.
Numbers used when we decide
That we would rather count.
They are used in many ways
To come to an amount.
Use a calculator when
An answer may seem

An Algebra Poem
Every now and then I am asked to write a poem…an honor for which I feel blessed…
but yesterday, in all honesty, I received a very strange request.
I recently wrote a poem on how basic math relates to life…which must have left one reader in awe…because he asked me if I could do the same with…wait

Tested On Algebra, Well No Duh
We were tested on algebra
Well no duh.
I have been to trig and back
while still keeping algebra on track
These are questions you can answer
they are not asking you to be a tap dancer
Put your silly doubts to rest
and be done with this stupid algebra test!
This is done as a response to my dear friend, Bridget Williams'

A Poem For My Algebra Teacher
I know I promised
no more ‘Make you Cry Poems’
I said I'd never write another
‘Wipe your eye poem’
And for three years
I tried not to retract,
but after so many tears
I have to take that promise back.
I write this Thesis
after going through a lost photo album,
trying to trace the

Practical Algebra
A lot of people hate algebra - they think it isn't useful.
They are SO wrong - here is some practical Algebra:
Chocolate comes from Coca,
which grows on a tree,
which is a plant,
therefore: Chocolate is a salad.
You're welcome.

X-Factors
by Wayne Wysocki
Hello, my darling variable,
'Tis me, your dear unknown.
How'd you like to take a chance?
You'd not be all alone.
We'd make a fine equation;
'Twould equal none we've known.
Just you, my darling variable,
And me, your dear unknown.

Oh Simple Math
Oh my math! Oh my math!
You are a head ache or clear cache,
I don’t understand you till I solve,
Is it a part of my problem solve?
Oh dear math! Oh dear math!
Please be simple, don’t be so tough,
You want me to practice, doing some rough?
It’s so hard, I want to give up!
Oh toughest math! Oh

To Dawn In My Algebra Class Updated
Your name is Dawn.
I know you hate my nose!
And I have mother-of-pearl
Snaps
On my clothes,
But truth is,
Seven months I have been waiting,
To ask you out!
(Don’t know for sure ‘f your folks
Will welcome dating)
BUT
I haven’t got a Chance
Of forgetting you,
So, if you think, ‘no’,
Just… before you do,
Remember,
I am not all that I seem.
I think of you,
And

Algebra Salgabra
It was ridiculous
Maniculous, fradiculous, arithmodus, calcrickulous.
A form of math I had never seen.
A counting in a way quite mean
Not algebra, not palgebra.
Something weirdly salgabra.
The newest new new math the teacher bragged
It was so slimey and sneaky,
So algebra-creaky
So non-user friendly
It had no parts bendy
I called up my doctor, I called up a priest
A lawyer, a
