Frank Poems: STUPIDOMETRY

Wikipedia: Squaring the Circle

1. Perimeter: The outline’s length
Of a straight-sided shape,
for example, a square.

2. Circumference: The outline’s length
Of a curved shape, for example,
A circle.

3. Pericircumfermeterence:
The outline’s length of a square peg
in a round hole.

*

The first two are arrived at
By geometry. The third
Isn’t.

"Let's Not Be Stupid," Richard Deacon, University of Warwick
