I apologise for loving you too much 
We never learned to balance the see-saw
In modern times the lovers should go Dutch

Two lonely   lovers with  a single crutch
Each one having many curious flaws
I apologise for loving you too much

What ever did I do to merit touch?
Then I was too careless with the salt
In modern times the lovers should go Dutch

We should measure what we speak at lunch
Then we weigh the sentences that spilt
I apologise for loving you too much

Maths and stats are useful in the lurch
Equality of signs and numbers,bills
In modern times the lovers should go Dutch

,

Let the mouth be silent, keep quite still
Love is rarely used when writing Wills
I apologise for loving you so much 
In modern times  we lovers cannot touch

A  is for the axioms we use
B for Brownian motion in a glass
C is for the circle  that  found pi
D is for the dots  that we combine
E is the ellipse that I adore
F is for the fraction I deplore
G is for geometry and art
H is for the hidden and unknown
I was once for inkwells  filled each day
J is    a close relation here of G
K is my own name, I do declare
L is  for the loops that string can make
M is mathematics as an art
N is for the numbers  that transcend
O  might be for zero or the mind
P is for the problems we all meet
Q  is for the quality of life
R is for the  random numbers  here
S  must be statistics, I declare,
T is for topology, that’s clear
U is understanding  what we read
V is  for the vacuum in the heart~
W is  the will power to succeed
X is still  unknown but we’ll give in
Y is  Yes we understand the game
Z I’ll  leave to you to make or maim

How? Resurrected?
