Let's begin our poem, it's easy to do
Just grab a paper and a pen or two
We'll talk about a subject that can be tough
But with practice and patience, it's not so rough

It's called mathematics, you might have heard
Sometimes it can feel like quite a blur
But if we take it step by step, question by question
We'll soon find that it's not so much of a lesson

Now, when it's time for an exam to come
It's natural to feel a little glum
But don't you worry, you'll pass with ease
You know enough to answer with ease

So when you're feeling like it's all too much
Just remember to take a deep breath and such
Mathematics can be tricky, that's for sure
But with practice and patience, you'll find the cure

And now it's time to say goodbye
But don't forget to give it a try
Mathematics might seem a little bit strange
But with hard work, you can make the grade.
