Great hovering kookaburras! Pi Day is upon us, and me with my best pi coat at the cleaner’s.
In honor of the blessed event, I like to point people back to the Pi-Ku poetry we made up on this site back in 2007. There still are some great poems in there. My favorite is Chris K’s
Opa! I know a

Naturally, haikus also put me in mind of the fit of pangram haikus that we did a while back.
You can see where this is headed. And so I thought to myself… hmmm. Do you suppose we could make a hai-ku-pi-pan-gram*? How about this:
For a quiz I found

She: jewel, blossom.
There we go. Haiku syllables. Pi letter count. Alphabetic pangrammitude. And the topic is the Queen herself. It won’t win any prizes, but still.
You must do better! Use this.
* Coincidentally, Haikupipangram is also the name of the Minister of Weights and Measures in King Kamehameha’s first administration.
Pi day vibe: quake
With glamorous, zesty joy!
Wax rhapsodic, friend.
I was so proud. Then I realized I got the number of syllables wrong. Never mind.
You go girl! A for effort! Three marks for Gryffindor House.
Re-using parts of one of my previous Rambles Pi Day entries, I invoked a tremulous Archimedes and his deity to come up with this:
Ago, o’ Jove, a
quaky Siracusan (be
amazed) flex’d pi’s worth
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
