The Bogeyman




He's a bogeyman
He's loved and adored
By the mathematician and  the nerd.

Not me.
I shiver and quiver
At the mention of his name
He's also caused me
To hang my head in shame. 

Mother tells me to make friends with him
But that is just so terrible a thing
I'm never able to figure him out.
Numbers, equations and problems
Give me a headache
That no Aspirin or Crocin can take away

I wish I could be rid of him
run away to a land
Where he does not exist
Then how happy I'd be
Living life bogeyman free.
