Square Root of Three

August 10, 2008

Dapet dari film Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay yg baru aja ditonton.
Its a nice poem,

Square Root of Three

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

A three is all that’s good and right
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun
As one point seven three two one

Such is my reality
A sad irrationality
When, hark, just what is this I see?
Another square root of a three

Has quietly come waltzing by
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed

  1. Aseli saya ngga’ ngerti saya maksud puiti di atas. Udah saya baca berulang-ulang tetep aja nggah ngeh…

    Salam kenal deh dari saya…


  2. Puisinya emang aneh, yg ngomong ini nice juga aneh, hahaha.

    Di filmnya, si Harold yg jenius matik bikin ni puisi. Jadilah puisi yg Nerd ini.

    Kira2 maksud puisinya: Angka 3 adalah angka yg indah. Sedangkan dia yg sekarang adalah akar kuadrat 3 (1,7321), hingga dia bertemu akar kuadrat 3 lainnya. Intinya di bait yg ini:
    Together now we multiply
    To form a number we prefer

    Salam kenal juga.
