Shapes and numbers

Bashirah Asuku

A ten-sided figure's called a decagon, I confess

Five sides make a pentagon, a geometric finesse

Is it the nine-sided nonagon that tests your might?

Or the six-sided hexagon, shining bright?

 

Mastering BODMAS, the rules unfold

As time ticks on, your skills take hold

You rise to higher levels, the challenge is real

But know too much, and some might think you're a rebel.

 

Many say nerds get a bad rap

Backstabbers abound, a toxic trap

They pretend to be friends, but watch out behind

Church mice with no friends, left in the dark of mind.

 

Mathematics isn't a crime, don't you fret

Give it time, and the concepts will set

You'll grasp the multiplications, no need to stress

And arithmetic progressions will be a breeze, I guess.

    A wonderful poem of progression whether mathematical or personal is not a nerd and if it is then being a nerd is being a better person. Wait until you get to trigonometry, probability, statistics and calculus.
