I eyed eight pieces of pie
I ate them fastidiously while I
Contemplated pi insidiously
While chewing real fast, hideously
The pie was simply great
But I noticed it was getting real late
So I shut the computer down
There was another computer around
I threw him some cents to equate
The value of pi while I wait
(Now I'm either really dense
Or this poem makes little sense)
Author notes
Kind of random, but it was fun to come up with. Hope this is what you were looking for. Here's the words I used:
I/eyed
eight/ate
pie/pi
fastidiously/fast, hideously
computer (like the one I am working on now)/computer (as in, "one who computes")
cents/sense

This little ditty made me smile today! Thanks for the read! Pretty good rhyming but the meter is off in a couple of places.Really, is never a great word to choose! Try another.Who did you throw the cents to?
Yeah, you're right...it is nonsensical...but it was fun!

I like this. I thought you rhymed the words you used well, and the story was entertaining.
Good job.

Great title! It really caught my eye and made me realise that's exactly what a poem is, isn't it? Love the use of metaphor you have going on. Final couplet made me laugh - who cares if it's abstract, think I understood most of it! You did a good job using the word bank you were given. Cheers.

All The Best!
