Algebra oi! You rock my socks
Feet will tremble, brain gets blocked
I thought math was about 1, 2, 3
& now I have these x, y, z's
1 + 2 = 3
but x + y not equal z
1 + ½ = 1 ½
but a + a/2 not equal a a/2;
Woe is me! i cringe and fear
Can someone help me out right here ?

Algebra oi! You rock my socks
The mysteries of the universe are gradually unlocked
Managing unknowns is what we do just every day
So kiddos fear not
Just keep finding ways
To listen up, practice more and ask me, okay? :)
