Circa Circumference
“And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other…and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.“
– 1st Kings 7:23
There’s so many reasons for faulting the Bible,
From walking on water to capturing brides.
There’s so many reasons, it’s scarcely a libel
To call God a fool, and a mean one besides !
There’s so many reasons for calling it tribal,
And local and ancient – the worst-of-all guides.
So many bloopers and so many slayings,
Just so many errors and terrors astounding –
So why do you focus on one of its sayings,
By claiming the value of pi is worth hounding ?
You won’t get the faithful to doubtings and swayings
With petty point-scorings that don’t allow rounding.
