What is Math?

What is math?
When did it start?
Do you need it to be smart?
Are the numbers some sort of art?
Do we have to understand it?
Do we need to learn it?
What do these numbers mean?
What do they form?
What did of job will I have?
Where can I find a job using only math?
Now I see!It's as simple as can be.
The place where I use math is called reality!!!
I can count my cash,
So I won't spend too much money.
Get just the right amount of marshmallows and honey.
Then I can be an accountant,
A good job that pays,
And money is something,
That people need now a days.
I just answered my own questions,
What a surprise!
I thought that math was useless,
A boredom in disguise.
Now that I've faced facts
And I'm on the right path
I know for a fact
That I can't live without MATH!!!
