Short Hypotenuse Poems

 
Pythagoras was a mathematician.
He taught mathematics in ancient Greece.
He created a now-famous theorem.
You can bisect a rectangle or square.
Draw a line between opposite corners.
This will result in two right triangles.
The two sides opposite each right angle
are commonly called a “hypotenuse“.
The sum of the squares of the base and height,
equal the square of the hypotenuse.

Three aspects will fight
In combat with each other
No equality.

Trigo
Trigonometry.
Angle repeated to infinity.
Triangulate an epic sine.
I've far too often crossed a line.
A line that lies on the hypotenuse.
And whisks its way into my muse.
That tangent is frequently opposite.
The place where wearily I sit.
And dreams of triangles fill my head.
Yet spherical lobotomies fill me with dread.
I cannot understand these simple theories.
Perhaps because they are portrayed as dreary.

Pity the fool who lives by numbers 
He counts his sheep while the sagacious slumbers 
Imagines triangles equal or obtuse 
Then numbers his thoughts by hypotenuse. 

He dreams of trig and long division 
Then stimulates his mind with a rhombus prism 
Wet duvets caused by a linear quantify 
He counts his orgasms by using pi. 

Correlation coefficients make him smile 
Exercises measured by the metric mile 
A career built on a quadratic path 
An idiotic devotion to anus numbing math....
