Math Is Alright  
By Vicki Young

You’ve never seen so many rules,
In all the days you’ve been in school.
But rules are what you have to know
Or else your progress will be slow.
Vocabulary words to learn.
Techniques and skills are great concerns.
But if you study day and night,
You’ll finally see the light.

Mathematics – it’s alright!
Just learn to appreciate its power and its might.
Arithmetic or geometry –
It’s mathematics in the world today
And it’s real for you and me.

As this impending test draws near,
Its importance should be clear.
You have to know most everything –
Vocabulary and techniques.
But all your studies now will pay.
You’ll live to see another day.
And in the future, in your life,
You’ll find that math’s alright!
