We hear all through grade school
that math can be fun.
They think repitition
will convince everyone.
But the truth of it is:
it can be worthwhile.
And what's more, it should:
it should make you smile.
For enjoyment makes learning
almost a breeze.
You'll go through math class
with the greatest of ease.
And outside of school,
it's useful there too:
in everyday life,
I promise it's true.
They don't lie when they say
"Math's common as shoes."
It can even aid gambling,
if you so choose.
And true mathematics
isn't boring at all:
the percentage of grunt work
is really quite small.
You can even be famous
for a new innovation.
You'll be all over the news;
there's cause for celebration.
See, it's more than just memorizing,
and "x equals one."
If it's done right,
math can be great fun.
