For the Love of Math and Language

A mathematical limerick by Leigh Mercer - 

To be read as:

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 not a bit more.

Mercer is most well known for creating the classic palindrome “A man, a plan, a canal — Panama!”.

Second Verse, Same as the First

Just read it in reverse:

First let me say that I’m cursed. 
I’m a poet who gets time reversed. 
Reversed time, 
Gets who poet a I’m, 
Cursed I’m that say me let first.

I couldn't resist sharing.
Sharing resist, couldn't I.
