Can one be too dumb for programming? (lemmy.ml)

I've always flunked at math; and knowing how intertwined programming is with math, I'm skeptical of my ability to learn how to code. Can someone be too dumb to learn programming? If it helps, I'm mostly interested in learning Common Lisp.

I've done basic programming and I find it very tedious and boring. I was good at math in junior and high school, but I really find it isn't all that math-centric. It's more a question of how you are at tolerating repetitious data entry.
