What is mathematically significant about the following poem?

Sir, I send a rhyme excelling

In sacred truth and rigid spelling

Numerical sprites elucidate

For me the lexicon’s full weight

um, the last word's "eight" if you drop the w... 😉

(i am, to say the least, very mathematically challenged. in college, "math for poets" was my favorite math class). 😃

well, the third line blew the concept of each line having eight syllables

Brudder Jon are you up to your old math tricks?

At first I thought it was tied in to a character pattern between the lines of rhyme (+2-1+2) but then I remembered something from my misspent youth, it was that Ptolemy's pi = 3.1416.

Count the numbers of characters in each word of this rhyme & it'll give you the value of pi to some power.

My guess is to the 20th power or so...

Now, back to my Cuba Libre.

blood

U DA MAN BLOOD !!!

Example: Sir=3,I=1,and send=4

pi: 3.14159265358979323846

I can't figure out who it is...but someone has waaay to much time on your hands 🙂 I guess I'm a little sore because I spent a hlaf hour trying to figure it out
