Musical Limerick

Jon Saxton

In Colossal Book of Word Play

Martin Gardner

 

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.*

 

*This limerick can be written out numerically as a correct equation, beginning with 12 + 144 + 20 and ending with 9 (squared) + 0.
