Math is like a dragon,
Fire breathing and ferocious,
It seems calm and gentle,
But it soon rips off your head.

Math is like a viper,
Stealthy and quick.
Sneaking up on you when you least expect,
Injecting its venom in your neck.

Math is like a lion,
Eating a gazelle.
Or a woman on Black Friday,
At Belles fifty percent off sale.

Math is like a killer whale,
On the hunt, on the prowl,
A terrified, tiny field mouse,
Running from the hungered owl.
