On March 14^th, we cheer for pi

And for math games of days gone by

Math was something fun to do

The list of primes began with two

Fibonacci in a flower

Puzzles were within my power

But math and I, we grew apart

The problem sets just got too hard

Numbers now are my defeat

But once I was a mathlete

The brain is an elastic thing

Perhaps someday I’ll learn to sing

And maybe also I will find

The fun in math that once was mine
