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.

Premium Member Hecatombs

The long road to happiness is paved with hecatombs of little joys!

* In ancient Greece, to thank God for a favor received, 
People sacrificed one hundred oxen, which they called Hecatomb.
Pythagoras, after discovering the Pythagorean  theorem, sacrificed 
An hecatomb  to thank God for the Inspiration.

Perfect Mathematical Matrix

Mother of All Mathematical Matrices

We did look at her dimensions over there;
LWH and hips started to carefully compare;
Really equal ratio;
Not reduce or grow;
Figured out her figure was a perfect square.

Not only perfect was it forever being;
In theorem created by a Pythagorean,
And each amenity
Contained infinity;
Beyond belief we had been believing.

A Grin Without a Cat

Zero to the thousandth power
logic on the run
Oblongata left in pieces
nothing zero-sum

Squaring the root unto itself
Euclid at the cliff
A equals B as B disappears
the quotient nondescript

Hickory Dickory’s mouse on the run
though nimble Jack gets burned 
Formulas crumbling as integers balk
what’s ‘given’ mocked and spurned

Zero to the thousandth power
reason clones its fear
Classical thought—not selling or bought
Pythagorean tears
