Mathematical limericks with the same rhymes   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3551 of 3662 |
This famous mathematical limerick by Leigh Mercer appeared in the February 1980
Word Ways:

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.

Using the same rhyme scheme, somebody proposed a new version:

The sum of 2k-4
From one to thirteen plus a score,
Over eleven,
Plus eighteen times seven,
Equals six cubed and not a bit more.

Can you create one with the same rhymes or maybe with others?

Amitiés,
Rolland
