ornate mathematics



It was a percentage play
Concluding with a punctual demise,
For his cost effectiveness paled
Beside that he failed
In every way intrinsic or other
Though his ornate buttons trajectrally
Shot holes in one over-unctuous
Theory that :

“should another hold fast
And query, a female of
Fine standing would
Appear nonfazed or
In any event should.”
His usefulness occurred somewhat rarer
As this theorem proved a mortal error
In the field while perfunctory on paper,
And his end, to she, seem’d satisfactory.

It's not a original, it is part of a speech an actor was challenged to memorize, in which the term "High grand panjandrum" first appeared.

Toby is adorable

And that ornate vertical world! Really cool! Aren't all maths baroque by their very nature?

Yours doodles noodle with my mind. A perfect 5 again. I'm running out of cans of corn here, would you settle for beans, or spinach?

Tom said...
