Pi Day


I don't have a new pie post for Pi Day, but I thought I would share my favorite Pi/Pie Poem with you. It is, in my opinion, a work of genius. The number of characters in each line corresponds to the proper digit in the mathematical constant Pi. Add to the fact that it is also about pie, and I am sold. Top my slice with a scoop of ice cream, please.
