Whose proofs these are, I think I know

He assigned the work a week ago.

The answers I have written here

Will make him jump and holler “No!”


Our careful prof will think it queer

The derivation stops right here.

I may have made a small mistake

But all the rest was very clear.


More time a better proof would make

But my brain is about to break.

And soon I shall but stop and weep

Because a final grade’s at stake.


My love of math is not so deep

This proof can take a flying leap.

And I go get myself some sleep

And I go get myself some sleep.
