Poem:
“Math”
Math, math, math
Numbers in my head
They never stop spinning
Even in my bed
First there was adding
Next was subtracting
It was easy at first
But then came the worst
Formulas came in
Like a tornado gone wrong
Spinning thousands of numbers
A hundred miles long
They say math is easy
They say math is hard
I really can’t decide
Which they implied
So what do you think,
Is it easy or hard?
