My math lesson was being taught in the deep outer space.
My instructor teaching is really hip, far from base.
Across the Universe, we were traveling at light-speed.
Our ship came to a stop. The teacher said, “Now we’ll proceed.”
Today our math is here, put on your ultrasonic gear.
Out the window were stars, Black Holes, and a glowing orange sphere.
Now sequential math is what we will do for today.
I thought I wanted to be shot by space men gamma ray.
Now look out the side window and turn your head to the right.
Across space it sped, I watch the Ultraviolet light.
My instructor forms a math problem and grins with glee.
We heard something flying by and howling like a banshee.
Now if one asteroid is coming at you at stage one.
I rolled my eyes down, looked at my feet and wished I were done.
At stage two, there is seven and at stage three---nineteen more.
How many asteroids are coming at you? Sixty-four.
What stage is this to the student stated the Math Teacher?
Sixty-four asteroids is not an attractive feature.
Especially when coming at your space ship metal door.
If the asteroids hits, I will not have math anymore.
The teacher grabbed the control, turned the ship, and off we zoom.
We headed back to Control base and back to the classroom.
