X Square Plus 2 - Sheldon Allman

I have tried to tell

Of my love for you

But I cannot find the words

So I say X squared plus seven

X plus 2

Minus eleven thirds

Minus eleven thirds

Other poets sing

Of the sky so blue

And the love songs of the birds

But I say X squared plus seven

X plus 2

Minus eleven thirds

Minus eleven thirds

To what compares to your beauty

What standard would I give

Except an unevaluated functional derivative

But the simple song that I give to you

Is devoid of signs and zeds

Its simply X squared plus seven

X plus 2

Minus eleven thirds

Minus eleven thirds

For when I see they beauty

The soul within me stirs

And then I sing in wild equations

Using variable integers

But the answers as simple as 2 + 2

I must join the common herd

As they say X squared plus seven

X plus 2

Minus eleven thirds

Minus eleven thirds
