In The Maths Class Poem by Sheena Blackhall

In The Maths Class

In the Maths Class
In the maths class
I was an air head

Reality was suspended
a + b= a Babel's tower of mince

Trigonometry was as useful
As a burst sofa stuffed with rubbish

Geometry was invented for the exclusive
Fraction of pupils who understood the properties
Of equations.

Maths lessons were lean pickings for me
Pythagoras & Archimedes nil
Eureka! Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes 100
