IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR SHORTER POEMS…

© Elwood Herring

I searched for a month
But could not find
A word that rhymed
With Month…

What a dunth.

MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD or
Mathematical Proof that God Exists (for the sake of search engines)

Said God to the World's scientists
"Find me proof that I really exist"
After years of research
(And a grant from the Church)
They concluded that 0⁰ = e^{pi^i}
(Okay it doesn't rhyme but it's mathematically profound - and it's my own equation © Elwood Herring 2004)
(See this page for some mathematical stuff)

There was a young man from Belfast
Who ran so excessively fast
He went out today
In the usual way
And came back the night before last...

(Note - This is actually my very first poem, written when I was about 12 years old!)

At the end of the day...
I HATE that cliché!
