“Threes” – John Atherton
I think that I shall never 
A # lovelier than 3;
For 
or 4,
And than 1 it’s slightly 
.
All things in nature come in 3s,
Like ∴, trios, Q.E.D.s;
While $s gain more dignity
if augmented 
—
A 3 whose slender curves are pressed
By banks, for compound interest;
Oh, would that, paying loans or rent,
My rates were only 3%!
3² expands with rapture free,
And reaches toward ∞ ;
3 complements each x and y,
And intimately lives with π.
A circle’s # of °
Are best ÷ up by 3s,
But wrapped in dim obscurity
Is 
.
Atoms are split by men like me,
But only God is 1 in 3.
