Going through a pile of saved clippings, I came across an article in the April 2014 issue of Math Horizons that involved humorous restating of mathematical theorems -- one of them, shown below, restated the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic in limerick form. Enjoy!
Fundamental Theorem of a Limerick
Any number you pick, I dare say,
When factored in any old way,
Results in some primes,
Together with times,
Unique up to order. Hooray!
Entitled "Bovino-Weierstrass and Other Fractured Theorems," this article by Matt Koetz, Heather A. Lewis, and Mark McKinzie is found online here.
