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.
