Not only is today Pi Day, it’s also Einstein’s birthday, the eve of the “Ides of March” and just 3 days from St. Patrick’s Day!!<\/p>\n

\nEinstein <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThere was a young man from Ulm<\/div>\n
\nWho calculated many a sum<\/div>\n
\nHe worked with mass<\/div>\n
\nAmazing his class<\/div>\n
\nBy discovering how energies hum!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nI am dedicating this Limerick to another fellow blogger TOSK – The Other Steven King<\/a> – who writes Limericks and Fantasy – maybe the only sane things to do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Have a calculating day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
