There is a reason Y
They are X-es
Though I have no proof of what I say
In the end
Nothing added up
Too many variables
And nothing was constant
Expressions were limited
Though easily manipulated
To provide their desired outcomes
When solving for an unknown
And unknowable future
Those constantly changing values
Never proved true
The solution was simple
Ditch the eX
Balance is now restored
Problem solved
Algebra: from Arabic al-jebr meaning “reunion of broken parts”
