How I wish I could enumerate pi easily,
3   1 4    1 5     9         2  6
since all these (censored) mnemonics
5     3   5      8         9
prevent recalling any of pi's sequence more simply.

Now I - even I - would celebrate in rhymes inept
3   1   4    1   5     9         2  6      5
the great immortal Syracusan rivaled nevermore 
3   5     8        9         7       9
who by his wondrous lore untold us before
3   2  3   8        4    6      2  6
made the way straight how to circles mensurate.

Eurika! cried the great inventor.
6       5     3   5     8
Christmass pudding, Christmass pie

is the problem's very center.

I know a maths professor.
1 4    1 5     9
He allways weeps and sighs
2  6       5     3   5    
whenever polyhedra
8        9
capsize ...
