Poetry Friday: I Like Pi/e

I love the Friday after Thanksgiving. All the fuss about dressing nice for Nanny and timing everything to come out of the oven at the same time is over. I can spend the day making turkey soup and munching leftover pie.

I was searching for a pie poem to share and found this one, by Lorreen Pelletier. It's not just a pie poem. It's a Pi poem. The number of letters in each line corresponds to a digit in the number pi. It's delicious and mathematically nutritious.

I love the alliteration and cadence of the poem. Here's a challenge -- try a Pi poem for yourself and leave it in the comments. I'll also post the recipe for my pal Lisa's no-fail pie crust there.
