MATH PAINS

Math is a problem for people,

As they perform mental extractions.

That’s why five out of four people,

Have trouble with fractions.

Math causes anxiety,

And for reasons they can’t explain,

All of that anxiety,

Will cause a person pain.

Call it the wrath of math.

Arithmetic can make you sick.

Working with all those numbers,

Can give you a mathematical crick.

Math is a painful affliction.

A major strain on the brain.

I suffer from fibromyalgebra,

And now I’ve got a pi-graine.
