"Calculus"

The first few months of math seemed to be easy as pi
November however leaves you feeling about to die.
When we understood calculus' 'simpler' things
We left the classroom feeling like kings.
Now that we have added on to the problem
There seems to be no simple way to solve 'em.
Moving from the explict differentiation and finding the derivative of only X
To the implicit differentiation where there are X and Y and dy/dx leaves you wondering what's next.
Worse then just that, which was quite enough to contend with,
Is finding the first derivative and not being able to end with it.
Second derivatives, when only explicit,
Can be seen as reasonable. When it becomes implicit it is closer to illicit.
Surely with this difficulty it isn't unheard of,
That Calculus doesn't fit everyone like a glove.
But with much practice I have seem to have gotten better,
And when we practice with a partner we can work it out together.
Time will tell if I have it mastered,
Once the test has been administered.
Though since the tests are always hard,
I am not sure if an A is in my cards.
Math is not a subject I have especially enjoyed,
And i see no real world way for calculus to be employed.
That is why I am sure when I have to split,

I am unlikely to miss it!
