“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”

There is an old teacher
Who tecahes a subject truly loathed
Except when taught with accents
Which is his nicest feature
The subject composed
Of student laments

Nothing is better than math
Except perhaps sleeping
There’s no chance for error
It’s like path
That keeps steeping
Filling students with terror

Now Pennefather teaches this loathsome subject
But with new twists
Although there are still many proofs
That has to be checked
There are still many lists
That teaches some truths

Math is math
And it causes quite a wrath
