Maths Lesson

The math was so hard on that day, 

When number lines came to play. 

Digits more numerous than hay, 

Yet rightly used have a simple way, 

Which we may one day understand. 

The numbers go on, never end, 

 Not left nor right do they bend. 

And no letters do they ever send 

In lines that do not ever end 

Which we may one day understand. 

Some digits, positives are tumblers 

And Zero is no fumbler, 

 Negative numbers do not slumber 

Irrational be many a number 

Which we may one day understand.

I love how subjects intertwine in a classical education, even if we aren't always enjoying them, and need to handle them in a different discipline.
