This is really bad.
“Algebra Two” doesn’t 
Compare to last year....

Most of which I can answer.
Tested. Algebra......

Pythagoras once fell off a ladder
And landed on a venomous adder
This adder couldn't add
Calculus made it sad
Algebra and theorems made it madder....

When I'm done in this world you see
And I've been all that I will be
Algebra will still puzzle me

Wake, shower, brush, drive
Oh the thrill of being alive
 Work, drive, chores, eat 
The sequence is almost complete
Shower, brush, sleep, wake
Learning math’s a big mistake...

I am a Virgo, on cusp of Libra.
My heart and mind stays in a penumbra.
My first words were these, so told.
“Me do it me self”, so bold.
I was strange in school, I loved algebra

Algebra equations I’m performing while light 
And then I go home and write till late in the night
Hanging out with me might cause you a fright
You may be my poem subject tonight!

Pi
What statistics?
What trigonometry?
Geometry bamboozles me
The math language completely shuts me down.
Pre-algebra breaks my brain waves.
Please let’s not speak of these
Crazy math terms.

An algebra teacher of mine named Gunnoe
Sometimes tippled and was often a no-show
A clever fellow he
Was laid back as could be
When they fired him he had nowhere else to go.

Mushroom Head had a calling, a fantastical mission in life.
It was to be the ultimate best kind of every day wife.
But you could be a math professor, her brother said in jest.
Laughing inside, for he had seen her pre-algebra test....

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....

Some think of geometry as art,
but I don't include Renes Descartes.
A philosopher of calibra, 
he combined geometry with algebra.
When in a pickle or a fix he 
was not only just whistling Dixie. 
He was writing down equations,
perfect for geometric occasions....

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....

Some 58 years ago, he taught me algebra in high school.
About 15 years ago, I gave him a call,  just to say hi.
He said he did not remember me, and that was okay.

We talked a bit about this and that, and I told him
How much I had admired him from my high school days.
In closing, he said, "You made my day".

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' poem, Tested On Algebra...

God is our answer,
When the music bursts
Under our beloved balcony
In Salvador de Bahia,
When a woman dances
In a cabaret in Manaus,

Love is our answer
When the sky is red and pink
Above the Oregon,

God is our answer,
In the night of algebra,
In zero and infinity 
In the chiaroscuro of Rembrandt
On the table around the friends
For a friendly repas,...

St. John gave its pupils arithmetic
I glided through these 
Like breeze of Belize

Los Angeles City College leveled me
Algebra had me on my knees

YET

I clamored to Cal. State, Long Beach,
Where Information Science sacked me

I fought back on campus lush lawns
Lingered crossed-leg in summer sun

WON

My grade was not an F
I graduated and felt blessed.

What 
Hurts me?
Cavities
Algebra class 
Cramps, infidelities 
Wars that spill blood, wanton and crass 
Set clouds ablaze and clog eyes with tear gas 
The Fight kidnaps fathers, ruins sisters, pours dots 
Into sheep, sadistic ballistics pass 
Through fields of flesh, slashing plates, glass
Partitions and babies.
Wasted landmass
Idle bees
Bodies
Rot....

ALGEBRA


Satan's hallucinations made him giggle,
Numbers and letters made to wiggle,
Satan arose one morning,
A day on Earth a'dawning,
Satan spake from far above,
Fist in his iron glove...
" I mix numbers and letters,
To make mathematics better,
Evermore there shalt be...
ALGEBRA!!!!!!"

Yes, numbers and letters made to wiggle,
Satan's hallucinations made him giggle....

If A can C
And D can B
where does that leave me

And if E equal F
Then what's the difference
And G plus H minus I
I have nothing left but J

So come join me 
And don't be afraid
K L N M O please
Q the questions it's Greek to me

R S T U V
W X Y Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!
Alphabet wake up
Aren't letter problems algebra?

Worked a jigsaw puzzle
While listenin' to Queen
And workin' out your algebra
While waitin' sweet sixteen?

Or scurried off to India
Just 'cause the op arose?
Or painted toenails black and blue
With one splashed hot pink rose?

Have ya ever taken life so hard
It makes ya wanna cuss?
If so, my friend, sit down come in
you're down dead one of us.

Math Birds Colorful

pale vision of sum
the addition of all the
colors dividing

painted on fractions
brillants multiple into...
peacocks algebra

colors divide
all birds counting fowl into
math answers flying

all birds colorful
outside of their nesting
bird mathematics

pale vision of sum
brillants multiple into..

It's a shame I don't drink,
I sit here and think,
As I'm here in the bar,
Love is like algebra,
Look, your ex is gone,
No need to rave on,
Who cares why they carry on?
That's why they're now gone,
Get over it and move on.......
X looks  at Y,
and wonders why,
Well, love was blind,
Old Shakespeare does pine,
You must get on with life,
We agree and sigh,
I'm here in this bar,
True love is like algebra!...

Algebra and Geometry are the two branches of maths
Which makes us think and we are in a fuss!
It is the best subject of education
For achieving good marks we need
dedication,determination and devotion
Algebra is well known for its equation,
Geometry for its proofs and theorems.
If we practise these subjects regularly
And master these coming out with flying colours
We will be someone like Aryabhatta or Pythagoras....
