I fear that I will always be..
A lonely number like root three...
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic..
I know I'll never see the sun..
as 1.7321
Such is my reality,
a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see..
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by..
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer..
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds..
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.
