A limerick based on ((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^1/2)) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0
A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
equals nine squared and not a bit more.
Limerick
A mosquito was heard to complain
That a chemist had poisoned his brain
The cause of his sorrow
Was para-dichloro-
diphenyltrichloroethane
Limerick
There once was a girl named Irene
Who lived on distilled kerosene
But she started absorbin'
A new hydrocarbon
And since then has never benzene.
A limerick in honor of mathematician Paul Erdös (rhymes with Kurdish)
A conjecture both deep and profound
Is whether the circle is round.
In a paper of Erdös
Written in Kurdish
A counterexample is found.
Limerick (thanks to Philip Taylor)
A physicist named O'Leary
Had ideas that made us all weary
When we said "It's all twaddle"
He said "Just a model!
I never once called it a theory!"
