Algebra Equations

Teacher, teacher,
Would you please,
Explain this equation
Again to me.

I don?t get it,
I can?t understand,
Why in the world,
Do I even need this math?

It a struggle
Can?t you see,
How does this
Equal to three.

Two plus two
I comprehend,
But when you put in letters,
I get lost again.

I throw my books,
I stomp my feet,
I get mad,
Because I just don?t understand.

Algebra, algebra
Would you please,
Simplify yourself
For others like me.
