Can someone help me with the scansion of algebra?

[rayheinrich]

While there are many possible pronunciations/interpretations of:

"f(you)
The first one that came to me as I read it (where '_' and '___' denote pauses and CAPS denote emphasis) was:

" YOU as a function of F _ is less than _ YOU as a function of _ Y times SUFFERING ___ minus ___ the scalar product of THE and GOOD as a function of x "

or shorter:

" F of YOU is less than Y of _ YOU times SUFFERING ___ minus ___ X of THE dot GOOD "

And math is fine in poetry (copied from various websites) :

This one is untitled and was written by Leigh Mercer:

(((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^-2))) / 7)+(5*11) = 9^2 + 0

When written out:

A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
is nine squared and not a bit more

__Saint Ives__ by Mother Goose

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats, sacks, wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

__A New Solution to an Old Problem__ by Eleanor Ninestein

The Topologist's child was quite hyper
Until placed in a Moebius diaper.
Her mess on the inside
Was thus on the outside
Which made it quite easy to wipe her.
