And here is a link to musical Pi --at the webpage of "The Derivatives" are math parodies written and performed by Bloomsburg University professors William Calhoun, Kevin Ferland, and Erik Wynters, including The Pi Song (also known as 3.14159/Circle).

Inspired by Pi
Last year, a few days after Pi-Day, my email had a link (Thanks, Paul Geiger!) to an example of Pilish -- this one a circle poem by Mike Keith that represents the initial 402 digits of Pi -- and I have, at last, posted the poem below. Keith's poem first appeared in the The Mathematical Intelligencer in 1986.

Mathy poems via e-mail
Publishing a blog about poetry and mathematics brings me new connections -- it is not unusual for a day to begin with an email from another poetry-math enthusiast who wants to share a link or a poem. One of these is retired USC biochemist Paul Geiger.
Using as raw material a poem by Shel Silverstein, Geiger created a 9x9 syllable-square:
S.C.S. STOUT by Paul Geiger
Apologizing and Acknowledging Shel Silverstein's 1974 poem
"SARAH CYNTHIA SYLVIA STOUT WOULD NOT TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT"
