First they asked me a question I knew the answer to.
Have you been using a calculator?
The answer is False.

Second they gave me a problem, something easy.
f(x) = 3x + 3, find x such that f(x) = 18
And it was easy.
The answer is x is equal to 5.

Third they asked me something new.
But it was a trick question.
So I gave them a trick answer.

The people were amazed.
I was taken out of my class,
and now I am here.

They ask me to move chess pawns,
and they ask me to recite prose in dead Latin.
They will ask me to solve questions in old dusty books.
They will ask me to rattle of Pi
3.1415...

Some of the kids will look at me funny,
and some even laugh.
I simply scoff and go back to my Shakespearean Literature
Silly Romeo and Juliet wanting to feel such a petty emotion.
