The Pythagorean Trump

The crazy beliefs of Pythagoras
On beans and their fruits simply stagger us,
   But what he deduces
   Of hypotenuses
Still earns him the right to be swaggerous.

Hilarious, Ed! You certainly are aces with limericks. Especially enjoyed the clever rhymes and learned a new word: "swaggerous." LOL Enjoyed! Hugs, Carolyn

I wonder if Merriam-Webster's will pay me for that one. Or maybe fine me. :-)

I thought at first this was going to be political. Not disappointed in the least this is delightful! A "swaggerous" Pythagoras is hilarious!!!
