For the attention
Of the, talented Mr Kipling
Bake a pier, bake a pier
Bake me a pier.
Pi r squared
Is some formula in maths,
Gathering nuts like the
Squirrel in numbers added
Attainment gained.
While Kipling is tasked
To bake me a pier.
Exceedingly good, it best be
If in social science, philosophy
Rational is defined,
As not near being reality
In connecting the dots
That makes chaos
The order of the day.
And the politician
Never told a lie, don't lie
He was just in opposition
Like a peeping tom
In arm chair rules
The sun burns, he who walks in it
Even maths can sometimes
Leave us, with decimals 3.14159265358979
I see you rounding up figures to 2.
The nearest 2, forget the rest
Pi r squared is a formula in maths
Now where is my cake, my crumbs
I just made it past the post
Bake a pier, bake me a pier

interesting piece of work! here's my wk 39.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/regret/
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this. I love your lines about rationality. Funny concept isn't it? Being someone who studied bout computer science and philosophy it really is interesting to see how incompatible the two definitions of the term really are.. Well written.
ReplyDeleteBeing from the U.S., I had to look up "Mr. Kipling," and learned all about his cakes and pies! I initially thought you were referring to the poet Rudyard Kipling, but that made no sense in your poem at all! I love learning things about other cultures. This was quite a funny poem and also very clever!
ReplyDeletelol, this was like mathematics in the bakery ;) :D lol.. nice one KD..
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one for the rally! And thanks for the note--I'm unfamiliar with Kipling pies and had to read the poem again a second time after I realized you weren't referring to Rudyard--it cleared up a lot of mysteries in the first readthrough! I love the play on words you have with pi and pie--a fun piece.
ReplyDeleteCrumbs...I was always rubbish at Math, but I love your Pie and you poem!
ReplyDeletePi - a wonderful ratio! If you like rhyming with Math, you might like http://www1.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=119908&title=Mathmaticious
ReplyDeletewow...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful word play.
I have to agree with Elaine! I've always been sucky with anything mathematical. I still have nightmares about being chased by the E=MC2 thingamabobbie chasing me through the university halls like pac-man after a tasty treat!
ReplyDeleteWell forget about that. LOL! I actually enjoyed your poem and found that maybe numbers and math don't have to be so scary after all.
May you have a wonderfully blessed day.
