Graham has posted a very clever - far too clever for me - mathematical limerick on his blog. I thought the limerick would be something like this:
A man from the island of Skye
Bad at maths, but determined to try,
Realised all of his fears -
After forty-five years
He still can't tell his log from his pi.
How wrong can you be 😩
Feel free to have a go yourself - either kind will be welcome!

Love limericks, Frances, but detest maths! Here's my go:
ReplyDeleteAlthough clever at English and French
During maths she sat on the bench.
Triangles and numbers
Caused her no end of blunders,
She’d much rather play with a wrench.
Thanks, Rosemary. I love it!
DeleteI like yours, Frances – I'll go and look at Graham's now.
ReplyDeleteIt's awfully clever, Patsy. I wouldn't have got there in a million years.
DeleteOh dear. You're requesting the use of brainpower to create something original using words.
ReplyDeleteThough I’m learned in words and much more
Their use by my brain is a bore.
Create something not rude
Said Frances Garrood
And now my poor brain is quite sore.
Oops. Typo. Line 2 is amended.

Good try, Graham, though I don't mind rude. Many of the best limericks are very rude!
DeleteA mathematician named hall,
DeleteHad just one tetrahedronical ball,
The cube of it's weight,
Times..........the rest is very rude.
