...This just tickled me, but then it would, I am a maths teacher. :)

A limerick:

12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4 + (5 x 11) = 9^2 + 0
7

Let me know if you can decipher it. ;)
 
81=81

so what?
 
I get 80 1/3 = 81.
 
It's a limerick...first line:

"A dozen, a Gross, and a Score..."

Pish-posh, ahhh, you Brits and yer' fancy limericks....dontcha' know we Yanks only know ONE limerick and it begins with a "girl from Nantuckett" and ends with "liked to *uck it"??? I mean, you do recognize our limited limerick recognizing limitations, right????

Sure. Consider this an education! ;)
 
A dozen, a Gross, and a Score
plus twenty and three square root four
Divided by seven
plus five times eleven
...
Equals nine to the second, no more?

(That can't be right, but it works.)

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose **** was so long he could **** it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
If my ear were a **** I could **** it.


There once was a boy from Dundee
Whose Limericks stopped at line three.
And couldn't be finished.




There once was a girl from Peru
Whose Limericks stopped at line two.





There once was a man from Verdun.





There was a young man from Japan
Whose verses would never quite scan
When told this was so
He replied, yes I know
But I always try to fit as many words in the last line as I possibly can.

This is why maths teachers should not be allowed up so early in the morning

or late at night depending from which angle you approach the hour ;)
