Multiplication is vexation,
Division is as bad;
Rule of Three doth puzzle me,
And Practice drives me mad.

From The Real Mother Goose

Variations:

The third line can be:
The rule of three it vexes me.
The rule of three perplexes me.

The last line can be:
And fractions drive me mad.

There can be no doubt: Maths are bad. Right?
