I went to Iraq to learn IROC,

then checked under a rock to find AROC.

I listened to a teacher’s tangent about Tangent,

turns out the trick to Trig is to trust the teacher.  

It took me only a second to understand Secant,

and later I had my Cosine work cosigned.

Unfortunately, I had no hope to understand slope,

y = mx + b just seemed to elude me.

So then I went to Hungary and asked a Hun,

and he explained that it was rise over run.

Ayn Rand taught me radians,

and lumberjacks Logs.

It seems I have a lot left to say,

but no time left in this day.

So for now take this as an opportunity,

and while you’re at it, I’ll fix this poem’s temporary discontinuity.
