The Tutor

He incorrects me,
Mesnomerizes me with false feet
And false grammaticles.
He forces me to go back again
And read it wrong.
Cyscopsoles Tringles
And Equicollaterals.
But this is the language he understands
And so I force myself to learn it.
And in a flash and a shout eureka
I see Archimedes run across his eyes.
"They always add up to 180," he says
In perfect English,
And suddenly it's all worth it.
