Exponential Potential

Effervescent baker Tiffany
Had an electric epiphany
Electing to add an ephah
Of enchanted yeast
To her emerging feast
Expanding her elegant eclairs
Exponentially
Enveloping every kitchen surface eventually,
She exclaimed, “Can I evade excess?
Perhaps there’ll be less,
If I expropriate a nibble.” 


Happy Exponential Day Everyone! (The Exponential Constant is 2.7)

Ephah -  An ancient Hebrew measurement that's probably too big to put into an eclair recipe, but at least it starts with E!

Written for dVerse.

  3. So fun to read aloud, having the rhythm and playfulness of a nursery rhyme.

  6. The baker will expropriate a nibble? Oh my. It will not go well: she’ll end up with nothing to show. Oh my!
