Ode to Pi Day

3-point-one-four-one-five-nine

That’s this haunting phrase of mine

It’s a ratio that’s divine

3.14159

***

A)     Around the circle, mark the spot

B)      Through the center’s lonely dot

Take A to B and you will find

3.14159

***

 We’ll celebrate on Saturday*

This ratio in a special way

Like a perfect glass of wine

3.14159

***

When Pi Day goes, I must confess

My weird old life is just a mess 🙂

For then I’ll sit and then I’ll PIne

For 3.14159

 ***

But SOON, we’ll get to celebrate

That special day – 6/28!

Not JUST two “perfects” will we find

But TWICE this special PI of mine!

*Note:  This is the original version of the Verse, written in a year when Pi Day was on a Saturday 🙂
