Rows of desks all lined up
With hormonal teens seated in them
Pencils and pens scratching away
At endless lists of algebra papers
The grumpy teacher shushes silence
A single whisper upsets her
But she cackles at math jokes
Her witch-like demeanor and voice
Cause the class to cringe and gag
Notes and questions, answered and taken
Test reviews and homework
I hate math class
