Math

What is it about math?
Seriously. I'm asking you, dear reader.
What is it about math?
Why is it that I can understand
English and history
And science
And quantum physics
And tardigrades and unfinished dot drawings of ladyslippers that I made in sixth grade —
But not math?
Seriously. It's like, I see numbers
And they do NOT make sense. At all.
Like, why is that?
I don't know why math even counts
Toward college.
I wish it didn't, because my grade
Really did a number on my GPA!
I'd like to point out
That math is fun, to an extent,
Until it gets difficult,
And you have to line up your priorities
And study for HOURS and HOURS on end —
It's like I can't even function!
Oh, what is it about math
That makes it so dreadfully intolerable?
Perhaps it is the fact that the range of topics we cover are just boring
Or maybe it's just that not all of my math puns are good —
Just sum.
