Root Three

I heard this nice and lame poem in the movie "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay", it's kinda interesting: who knew mathematics could be this romantic after all!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root 3
A 3 is all that's good and right
Why must my 3 keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a 9
For 9 could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun
As 1.7321


Such is my reality
A sad irrationality
When, hark, just what is this I see?
Another square root of a 3
Has quietly come waltzing by
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed
