Mathematics Poem by John Sensele

Mathematics, you're my daily food
Yeah, you done me real good
I love you.
You frighten frail, loud, proud minds
Nursery, primary, secondary, all kinds
I love you.
Expansion, factorisation or Algebra
I say ‘em eureka or abracadabra
I love you.
You've rewarded, expanded my life
Played sweet music on your fife
I love you.
I've tamed you, tough Mathematics
Together with your kin Pragmatics
I love you.
You've inspired my creativity
To inform my logic proclivity
I love you.
Students shiver at your sight
But I stroke and kiss your might
I love you.
You and I share a common fate
Your answers seldom come late.
I love you.
God's been to me wondrous
Name on book spine, not porous
I love you.
Diagonal, symmetry or Geometry
Sine, cosine, tangent or Trigonometry
I love you.
Side, vertex, shape or benefactor
Prime, even, odd number or factor
I love you.
I often conquer and beat ‘em all
To my feet they crush and fall
I love you.
