For this week's Poetry Jam, we have been asked by Evelyn to write something humorous, not to consider the impending storms, etc. However, since I've just dealt with the aftermath of Irene and Katia is spinning her way across the Atlantic as I write this, that request is a little more difficult to fill. Although what I posted below is something that may not make you burst into a belly laugh, hopefully, it will breed a smile.
Enjoy!
Mathematical Sets
It all figures:
balanced equations
sets of added digits
occasionally subtracted
divided by common factors
multiplied by these too
percentages based on
the configuration
of a situated O
the configuration
of a situated O
and its relation
to the point.

Oh dear, I thought once I left school I'd never have to see another Venn diagram again!!
ReplyDeleteVery very clever, I have to say
the O's relation to the point, huh?:) please excuse my dirty mind...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! Your Math teachers didn't tell you how important those Venn diagrams would be? ; )
ReplyDeleteYou're excused, Ed. Thanks for dropping by.
ha, a situated O and relation to the point...yes, i am in the dirty mind category myself...lol
ReplyDeleteHahaha... Brian, glad to bring a smile on this overcast Labor Day. : )
