Oh, the Pleasures of Math!

In Poetry

Oh, the pleasures of math,
How I love it so
With numbers and figures
To burn my brain cells.
Oh, but how I do love
My bothersome friend
Who picks on my mind
And deadens my head.
Through the wondrous talks
Of the Triangular Theorem
I am bored and made tired
To the end of my time.
But Oh! How I love it!
In all it’s confusion
With problems who gobble
Up time like a human.
For never have I met
A more delightful pal,
Then the one who does choose
To make me space-out.
And so I proclaim with all of my might,
Oh! The pleasures and joys and elation of math!

I applaud your geekiness.
This is truly a very amusing piece of work, I was smiling the whole time.
I liked this.
However, it wasn't too visual so...
4/5

Yay! Math! :D

I would say to geek it out even more. As one of the resident math tutors of YWS (yes, I know, I'm pathetic) I would love to see more theorems and math terminology, amidst all the whining and complaining in the poem.

Still, very awesome! :D

Haha, this was good! But I have a few nitpicks.

"I am bored and made tired To the end of my time."

- the 'to the end' line seemed out of place.

"it’s"

- it's 'its' if you're talking about it owning something, it's for it is.

"With problems who gobble Up time like a human."

- Meaning?

"For never have I met A more delightful pal,"

- Again, the second line is out of place.

"To make me space-out."

- This too.

"Oh! The pleasures and joys and elation of math!"

- Not a good line to end with.

In all, I liked it! Litterally, I'm 'liking' it. Hope I helped-ish!
