A dozen, a gross and a score,
plus three times the square root of four,
divided by seven,
plus five times eleven,
is nine squared and no more.

Haha. Fooled you! Its a math post!

I think the last line needs two more syllables, e.g.:
Quote:
is three squared, then squared, and no more.

A mathematician named Hall
Has a hexahedronical ball,
And the cube of its weight
Times his pecker's, plus eight
Is his phone number -- give him a call...
