Tau Day Limerick

Posted on June 28, 2011April 12, 2021 by Denise Gaskins

So if working in radians you hate
(How can $\frac {\pi}{4}$ be really $\frac {pie}{8}$ ?),
Make your life simpler now
By just switching to τ

The Same in Words

So if working in radians you hate,
(How can pi-fourths be really pie-eighth?)
Make your life simpler now
By just switching to tau
equals six point two eight three one eight…

Thank you to all the poetry people who have stopped by to read my ditty. I’m honored! But I’m afraid I’m not much of a poet, and my inspirations are few and far between. Still, I’ve enjoyed clicking through to read your blogs — so creative!
