A #limerick about #knicks great Walt “Clyde” Frazier
Clyde Frazier sure does like to #rhyme
He does it ‘bout all of the time
He’s slicing and dicing
Exciting, igniting
Prolific and oh so sublime

A #limerick for the upcoming 1st day of autumn
Autumn
The leaves change their color and fall
A chill’s in the air for us all
Sweater weather is here
This time of the year
Let’s warm up with some alcohol!

A #limerick for a very rainy day
The rain’s coming down in buckets
If outside it’s quite hard to duck it
So I think I’ll stay in
And gaze out with chagrin
But leave the house? No! F*ck it!

Does infinity really exist?
If not would it even be missed?
Strict finitists say no
Infinity’s not so!
There’s a top number, they insist!

777777777 appears in π at position 24658601 (www.angio.net/pi/)
No digit appears 10 times consecutively in the 1st 200 million digits of π. Is this true if one goes further? Is it a trivial question because of our 10 digit decimal system? Is it true of π written in other bases? #mathsky #math #pi

I wrote a belligerent, defensive, and curmudgeonly #limerick for those who do not like my #limericks:
If you think that my limericks suck
If you think that they really are yuck
Well I really don’t care
For the words that you spare!
I think yourself you can go f*ck

A #limerick about #wordle. Note - this is not a spoiler, it is not today’s Wordle.
I’m sitting outside playing Wordle
An X and a Y is the hurdle
Is it sixty or proxy?
Or maybe epoxy
Some letters just make my blood curdle!

Why does this #spelling rule exist?
I learned to put “i” before “e”
Except when it’s after a “c”
But why the exception?
I thought with perplexion?
The spelling police will not see!

My local #fish #monger invariably sells me a bit more fish than I requested. A #limerick
I ordered 8 ounces of fish
The perfect amount for my dish
But then as they do
They went over by two;
10 ounces was also delish!

Gödel - a #limerick

When he said that math is not complete
Or perhaps inconsistent
He proved with persistence
His theorems were really a feat!

This limerick’s an ode to the spring
Sun’s out, flowers bloom, and birds sing
But short is the season
With no rhyme nor reason
Until heat of the summer’s the thing

I’m glad that I’m here - not in heaven
So now it’s my birthday
a great fun and mirth-day

A counterpoint to my #limerick about math getting a bad rap:
So what would we do without math?
Would it actually end all our wrath?
No calendars, no time,
Not a nickel or dime
I shudder to go down that path!

The breakup - a sad story
√2 tells of his breakup with his girlfriend √-1 (known to her friends as “i”):
My imaginary girlfriend called “i”
Decided to dump me for π
She said π was so real
Neverending in zeal
But, just as irrational as I

I think it fair to say that math is frequently disdained by many people. They ask why??
A #limerick:
Math frequently gets a bad rap
Some think it a terrible trap
With square roots and fractions
And many log actions
They ask why do we need this crap?

Did God created it, or was it random?

Twas random he thought, no creator
All arose without collaborator
Like the chimps who typewrite
Random pecking all night
Recreating all of Shakespeare’s labors
