You cannot know the root of two
The proof of that's not hard to do
I'll leave the looking up to you
Since sums are fun
And Pi can't be a ratio
That anyone can come to know
There's lots of proofs that I could show
Why not find one
Another one that's known to me
Is Euler's number (known as e)
It's just a little less than three
Now let's rerun
They aren't so thin upon the ground
There are examples all around
Irrational numbers just abound
And now I'm done

Pretty good
The name of the form escapes me at the moment, but it does have a nice rhyming scheme, and talks about those pesky irrational numbers. A fun read early in the morning.

had I rhymed it abab it would have been a "sapphic ode" in the style that Pope used well, but I don't think the triplet rhymed version actually has a name

I liked it, though I'm never sure whether like this structure. Nicely done, of course, anyway.
