Humble Pi

By notebook | Posted: 13 May 2012

Consider for a moment the circumference of a coin

Inseparable is three point one four one five nine

Perimeters of toilets as you sit upon their seat

is just the perfect size when your bum feels replete

 

From boundaries of planets to sub-particle design  

are radii times twice three point one four one five nine

On eyeing dodgy radials before you own a fine

insist on Michelin three point one four one five nine

 

Newton discovered gravity – Einstein, oh he did too

Humble Pi is amazing without the previous two

The outskirt of the universe is expanding over time

it’s only axis times three point one four one five nine

I liked the neatness of this poem - it feels very complete, like a full circle. Funny as well and thought-provoking.
