Math Poem 3 (Free verse) by Dovina
Division it was that upheld him. He divided one by one third and found the answer three. Then six by two, this too, three. He tried it on seven, the log of eleven, even the cube root of two to the eighth. Everything he divided by a third of itself yielded none other than three. So he generalized and preached to the world “x / x/3 = 3. It’s true for You! Let it be carved on my stone and laughed at if ever disproved.” Now his body lies deep in the ground. His equation waves like a flag. And all who pass say there lies a man that nobody ever found wrong.
