Problematic sums!



I am sick today, give me this homework some other day
Ma'am believe me I did the sums
On my way, it got stuck on a giant gum
oh! My homework's drench with water
How I hated math, I preferred laughter

Math wasn't my cup of tea, seeing it made me flee
I liked to play football and basketball
And a dozen of sports, I was a boy who loved brawls

Sports is fun unlike the problematic sums
They are always so sad
And like a hero I help them (It doesn't make me glad)

My best friend says math is cool!
He also likes to go to school....
U can understand that we have loads of fights
But I guess that's Alright!
:)
