Late To The Party, I Still Try To Compose A Nerdigras Anthem

March Madness leaves me cold, to say naught of

St. Patrick's Day (Ugh! Amateurs and beer!).

There's really only one reason to love

This silly month and greet it with good cheer:

'Tis Nerdigras, the season of the geek!

From Christmas's square root (that is, the fifth)

Through Pi Day, March Fourteenth, we all shall seek

To show our love for elegance and pith:

Have fractal fun, unscrew some endless screws,

Chase Zeno's tortoise, don our best Lovelace,

Turn coffee into theorems with Erdös,

Cross Konigsbergen bridges or just face

Those Cantor sets within sets. Raise a glass,

And take a Knight's Tour with me. Now that's class!

What's My Sonnet About Again?

Piezoelectricity's my theme...
No wait, it's pilots, right, today's their day?
I know it isn't picene; I'd not dream
Of sonnetizing on some tar, okay?
Pirates are always good for some hum-arrr,
As are pinecones, what look like hand grenades,
And clear out drunks when flung into a bar.
A pie plate? No! Bad notions come in spades.
An idea must come soon on down the pike
Or I will pile up bad ones, call it good.
I'm not afraid, for this is nothing like
The demon writer's block, although I would
Appreciate a pica's worth -- I say!
I've got it! Have a happy, great π day!
