Scrawled equations on the chalkboard,
Teacher's talking as she writes.
But I'm not paying attention,
Under bright fluorescent lights.
I Pythagoras with the best of them,
Fibonacci 'till I'm blue.
I'm at home with Euclid's theorems,
And with Turing I just flew.
I'm at one with Aristotle,
I can prove the whats and whys.
But it's warm and I feel sleepy,
As my mind just dreams of Pi!
