Letter to Santa


Visit the people who struggle with math,
bring them courage, illumine their path.
Shower blessings on Polly Precision, please:
She never leaves out parentheses.
Increase my store of patience with 'em
when they're tangled in a logarithm.
Give me forebearance when (I quote)
"A hyperbola has an asymptote."
These are the faces I see each day.
May I kindle a light in each, I pray!
