A parody of Mark Antonys speech in Julius Caesar

Friends, scholars and fellow sufferers, lend me your ears,

I come to criticize maths not praise it,
the evils that former geniuses invented, lives after them;
The good is lost in the sands of time, so it is with maths,
the noble maths teachers have told you, maths is interesting,
If it were so, I have failed to appreciate it,
And failing to appreciate it, have failed in it.

Here, under leave from the Principals and teachers

for they are all honorable people,
come I to speak of the ordeal that is Maths.
Maths is complicated, nauseating and frightening to me,
but our maths teachers say it is interesting and easy
and they are honorable men.

Many a time in the class we are given sums

Whose complexities did leave us reeling,
Does this make it interesting?
When the poor student failed,
the maths teachers routed and roared.
Maths should be made easier or abolished,
yet the maths teachers say it is easy
And they are all honorable men.

You have all observed during the year,

as the maths teacher walks into the class.
The students sweat and swoon.
Is maths really necessary?
Yet our maths teachers say it is necessary,
And they are all honorable men.
