A Simple Poem Dedicated To Mary Dolciani

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Simplify
let not Confusion's leer
spit in your eye
 
Simplify
—don't be demanding—
climb the first steps
to the peak
of Understanding
 
Simplify
avoid Untruth
and the appearance of
the bloody tooth

Enjoy the music and
Simplify,
the cousin family of
James and Bobby

    1. Ms. Dolciani authored a legendary high school Geometry book
      with dead-eye clarity and a slew of transparencies.

      I had dreams that she was the life-long companion
      of Isidore Dressler, an equally legendary Math author
      whose PAPERBACK Algebra book introduced me
      to my "favorite" math book word: Simplify.

      Unfortunately, hyperlinks to Mr. Dressler are much too long
      for inclusion here
