Pi Poems


"Pi Madness"

Hark! What is that delightful scent?
An irrational number? Friend, do not lament.

Wait... can it be e? No wait...
No, no, no, the scent is simply too great

Oh, pi, the very tasty thing!
I think I just heard a thousand angels sing
"The Great Number of Pi" has a nice ring

3.141592653
The rest of pi's digits, come to me!

58979
Pi is really so divine!

323846264
Never have I heard such a great number before!

338
No, wait...

This number will drive me over the deep end in love
Once again, I hear millions of heavenly voices above

Despite the many hardships, despite many a sigh
I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS love pi!

"Ode to Pi"

You ask me, "What is the greatest number?
Why, good sir, I could answer that in my slumber
Or perhaps while eating a cucumber

It is the number which never repeats
My love for it also never depletes

If anyone, anyone would simply pass by
The wonderful, majestic number of pi
And give no response, save a grief-ful sigh
Then I, good sir, would almost die

What ignorance! What shunning! What display!
This kind of mathematical incompetence I consider foul play

The irrational number E is quite a bore
Pi will be on top, and keep repeating forever more

"A Pi Comparison"
More marvelous than a roaring waterfall
More elegant than a royal ball
More beautiful than a ray of sunshine
Stop, there I draw the line
Nothing, I say nothing, can be more divine
Than pi, the great irrational number
The value of which is heavier than a ton of lumber
The number is the grat pi
The number for which I would die
The merer thought brings a tear to my eye
