       Math Limerick
       Question: Why is this a mathematical
       limerick?
       ( (12 + 144 + 20 + 3 Sqrt[4]) / 7 ) +
       5*11 = 92 + 0 .
       Answer:
       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.
       ---Jon Saxton (math textbook author)
       Presentation Suggestions:
       Challenge students to invent their
       own math limerick!

       poetry.
