The GoodMother Of Geometry

____________________________________________________________________________________

On that ecstatic day when Pythagoras
discovered his theorem,
he and the Pythagoreans
went chanting through
the hills of ancient Greece:






Mrs. Pythagoras was standing
in the doorway
when he got home,
shaking her head.

"You've got it backwards.
  Go from the smallest
  to the largest:



"It's alphabetically correct and has a nicer flow to it."

The man had no choice but to agree
for the simple reason that  history
proved the woman was correct.
