𝝅 by Bill Batcher - Your Daily Poem

𝝅
by
Bill Batcher

The 14th of March, 3/14--—today—--is the national
day to celebrate 𝝅, which I guess is rational--—
the day, that is, not 𝝅, which can't be a fraction
nor expressed in decimal digits with perfect exaction.
Diameter into circumference; quite transcendental!

Since attempting to memorize 𝝅 is too monumental,
and at mathematics I am just a beginner,
I'll celebrate with a nice round pie after dinner.

Like how the poem ends with a "nice round pie after dinner."

Your rhymes are remarkable but your last line is what I pine for.

I guess you could say that was pie-fic. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk. Cute pie-ce. Randy
