Picture and Words

Picture and words

===============

"A picture is worth a thousand words" -

A saying for sure, we all have heard!

When asked to prove this using maths in mind,

Rules of trigonometry are usually kind!

Construct a square of unit length,

Measure the diagonal using ruler and tell - 

The value is irrational and you will just see - 

A square root of two is what it should be!

Didn't you just manage to represent a length,

Which when put into words, 

has no theoretical end? 🤔

Victoria Park Chronicles

Silly young Ravi,

accustomed he's been -

To the clear trails in the park,

Even in harsh cold he's seen!

Began to wonder when at a corner he found,

A thin white veil,

Covering the ground!

No footprint he could see!

No mallards! No geese!

"Oh! what has this trail become!" - he muttered as he leaves.

Deep within himself,

he still does hold,

A truth he has simply known -

If you live in Kitchener downtown,

There is no better place to go, 

For an early morning round..!!

(Dedicated to Aesop, whose Ant and the cricket inspired this one!)
