Hey lets start this thing and gain a little mnemonic
Cuz the teachers always explaining things so dull and robotic
But you got it, just trust this rhyme and I promise you'll have it
Let me teach you the equation for the function quadratic
It goes A, X and a 2 up high
Add that to a B multiplied with a Y
Put a plus sign and add the third term, the C
And set all that equal to a 0 bee
It's that easy, with that you can plot the graph
That will show you where the ball went and its flightpath
See the value of X shows where the line hits the axis
To illustrate where the ball was caught and where it was passed
It's cuts of cake to find this data with a formula rap
So keep in mind these fresh rhymes to the beat of the clap
You set X on the left, follow with an equal sign
Put the next little sect about a dividing line
And that little piece starts with a negative b
Add and subtract square root of B high 2 minus 4AC
Then divide what you get by 2 times A
If you forget this part man, your whole answers at stake
But if you follow my rules, and do all of this rap's math
I guarantee the next reports gonna say that you passed
Made this for a research paper my gf was writing on the benefits of learning with music

Push, click

And the ink is exposed to the paper
I am a poet, disguised as a faker
My lies and deceit have made the ink run
Words are dripping down, great, I just spilled my ***

Push, click

So the ink will not dry during clean up
I never get the wishes that I dream up
That's why my *** has been spilled
And the room's yet to tilt
My mind is a quilt with the seams cut

Push, click

Write.
Pen, paper
Alleviate, redeem, numb
Please someone get me more ***
Now.

Push, click

And **** a cinquain
I'm sick of this ****, I'm done playing games
Always a *****, seems I only complain
Enough of these thoughts, they're always the same
I'll weather the weather, meditate in the rain

Push, click

Should I kiss the seal of this letter
And attempt to attach my love
Say you're lighter than a feather
That your kisses are like a drug

Would it do justice to add a gift
A gold necklace or a locket
Or say I'll always uplift
Your broken heart and never drop it

Would these things help you to love me
Or to make compassion lasting
I think not! and I hope you'll see
Our love never needed crafting

For you are my soul mate, I swear I'm being honest
And I'll never let you go again, carino, this I truly promise

Love is an ever-flowing river
Smoothing out sharp, jagged rocks
Love is a surprising thing
Bringing together a hound and a fox
Love is beyond any human words
Yet everyone speaks it so beautifully
Love is a smile with no reason
That speaks to the world so truthfully
Love is the swaying corn stalks
In a golden field of memories
Love is an awkward new home
Broken in by those who live with me
Love is a breathless moment
With only two people in the world
Love is a simply complex thing
That's more than just a boy and a girl
Love is perfect as is
I'm glad that it's inexplicable
Love is it's own new world
Let's hope that its orbit's elliptical
Love is an unselfish hate
Anything to protect your kin
Love is what was missing
In that shiny man made of tin
Love is paint filling negative space
Erasing the confusion of what's beneath
Love is an echoing voice in a cave
And a lesson we all can teach
Love is a connection of the eyes
Just knowing that the other is there
Love is something we all have
I'd hardly say that love is rare

Tangerine skies have come and gone
All those crisp amber leaves withered away
Day after day I think of you
And for that moment, everything's okay
I lay beneath the willow tree
Empty eyes shut, I feel my whole world sway
Each ray of sun is it's own world
Without you, everyone of them is gray
And opaque, with not a word said
So I'll keep you close and never stray
If I may, I'll take your left hand
Grow with you and live happy by the bay
I'll stay until the end of time
But before I am dead, I have to say
That fate has brought you to my ray
And I wouldn't have it any other way

— The End —
