Just Another Fractured Haiku

Dunce cap perched on head
Joke is on you teacher dear
I got out of math
Actually the joke, in the end, was on me. I am still math challenged even though I never really did stand in a corner with a dunce cap.
Without the explanation, I’ll get lost. Haha. Poor me. Oh well, this is fun. It perfectly exudes humor.
thanks
I actually did well in maths, but am still math challenged as an adult. I’ve quite possibly forgotten more than I ever learned, at this point.
You know what the real kicker for me is? I keep my husband’s company books. (lol)
I’ll say that I am ok in math b/c I home schooled my grandson and had to really study math along with him to get it right. It was just as if I was in math class all over again…lol
see, that would probably be good for me–to have a do over with my math skills – good for you to home school–I admire people who take that on
Perfect post with kids going back to school. I wish I could’ve been excused from math by way of a dunce cap.
I know – that would have been nice
I used to get out of Maths whenever I could too! Loving your haikus!
thank you for that – I wonder why some people get math and some don’t
Well, we’re good with words so we can’t be good at everything!
too true – thanks for putting it in perspective – don’t want to get too greedy
Math has always been my biggest challenge!
me too – yet when I get it I feel so satisfied!
Ugh. Math. Nuff said.
ha ha – my sentiments exactly
So funny… reminds me of Fractured Fairy Tales (my favorite segment of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show)
I found math a little more understandable at the age of 42 ….. sometimes I think our brains are just not ready for it all!
I loved that segment too – glad you enjoyed
I am really enjoying these!
Thank you – “e” is giving me a little trouble – but I will just have to forge forward (f may not be a problem!)
Math, yuck, must be in the genes.
I think so – we were (and are) much too creative — as I mentioned to someone else, numbers do not tend to bend
When did dunce caps stop being used? Sorry, I just suddenly thought of that because I often see references to it but rarely an actual use of it (both in fiction and real life). That being said, math is definitely not my subject either. Must be a thing for us creative-types.
It was never used when I went to school – I think it could be called emotional harassment
I think you are right about math and creative souls–we just can’t make the numbers do what we want them to do–I so want my bank account to be in a more positive place (lol)
