So. My friend and I wrote this together ages ago because we were very bored in math class. It's one of the few classes that I'm not very productive in xD I'm in normal text and my friend is in italics. Any other un-parts of the poem are underlined. In all silliness this is xD

________

Red Rover
Over and over,
Words scribbled out and
Given back like
Red Rover.

The Guppy
The guppy swims 'round
And 'round and 'round in circles.
Ripples the water.

Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves tumble,
Sweetly, slowly, softly.
Wisping by your ears,
Tickling the hairs on your
Chinny-chin-chin.

Stairica
Erika
Needs to stairics
Out the window,
oh no?
Because I need
to feed
my brain,
And this game,
I need to do my work,
So shut up ;)


She wrote this
In Math class, miss.
While trying
To do fractions or somefing.

Well, what's the use of Math?
It's like coating your brain in grease after a bath.

Math, there's no use,
I think I'll get a noose,
Hang my math book,
Without taking a look.
Kill the equation
In a fire...blazing...


Murderer!
Murderer, you sir!
Good on you,
I'd do the same, too.

Multiply, divide the fraction,
Never addition our actions.
Subtract
The word "math"
from my vocabulary;
It's left me weary.


The bell's gonna ring,
So let's sing
To celebrate
That we're vertebraes!

Thank God we're in alliance,
Because last semester we finished science!


And then I remembered this poem thing and showed it to my friend today. Here's her response:
God blessed you with eyes to see,
So please see why you need to leave me alone,
Follow the right path,
Do the Math,
Make it rain,
Stop giving me a migraine.

Ach, I'll be back if I can. But I wanted to leave a remark as a placeholder: you made me grin, da? I love the mathematical--or, er, not so maths-related--mutterings in somewhat tongue-in-cheek slightly poetical form. ^_^

More in depth when I've more time--momentarily, then.

HAHAHA. The last response was icing on the cake.

I'd respace part of the first one:
The guppy swims 'round
And 'round
and 'round in circles.
Ripples the water.

Or not. Could go either way.


The bell's gonna ring,

To celebrate
That we're vertebraes!

I'd replace that with "vertebrates" to rhyme better.

Overall, very amusing.
