Nineteenth century British poet Arthur Clement Hilton (1851-1877) died young but during his short life he wrote some lively verse. Here is "Mathematics" -- from his collection The First Green, found here (p.134).
Mathematics by Arthur Clement Hilton
I've really had enough of sums,
I've done so very many,
That now instead of doing sum
I'd rather not do any.
I've toiled until my fingers are
With writing out of joint;
And even now of Decimals
I cannot see the point.
