Irish poet and physicist Iggy McGovern
has written both humorous and serious verse. Today we have lines from him that startle and amuse -- below I present, with his permission, selections from his collection Safe House (Dedalus Press, 2010). Here are "Belfast Inequalities" and "Proverbs for the Computer Age":

Who put the pie in Pythagoras,
who put the bra in algebra
and who was the first to say: Let x
be that unknown quantity in sex?
the answer's in some chromosome
and not the sums you do at home
