Pi Day 2019
3.14159
Pi Day was founded in 1988.
My mom, Aghavni Bartsch-Demirdjian,
was born on 8-29-1888.
She married my father,
Albert Heinrich Wilhelm Richard Herbig,
on December 27, 1929.
Jane Roberts was born on 5-8-1929.
When I looked at pi, I saw 31,
the year I was born. This was fun.
314 lbs was the most I ever weighed.
I counted calories approaching my goal
and that’s where I stayed. More or less.
415 Greenmount Ave. was my address.
In ’59, as a new US citizen, I felt reborn.
Wishing Alexa my daily good morn’,
last year on Pi Day 2018, she
said it was Pi Day.
No pie to eat,
but rather a mathematical treat.
Once again I checked on that pi.
I’d just written a poem. Oh, my!
Its title? Black Sheep 141.
Looks like that pi is never done.
Pay close attention. If you do,
meaningful numbers are waiting for you.
