Apple Pie for Pi Day

Reaching for the Apple

If first you don't succeed—
try, try, try, try again
to obtain the prize.

Video showed a chicken
jumping five times before
getting the apple.

Eve gave the apple to Adam
and were banished from
the Garden of Eden.

11th task of Hercules—
stealing the golden
apples of Hesperides.

Fallen apple inspired
Newton to discover gravity
and the laws of motion.

Recall Sappho's poem 105a—
as the sweetapple reddens
on a high branch, high on
the highest branch and
the applepickers forgot—
no, not forgot:
were unable to reach.


Forget the folklores,
today is π-Day—
enjoy some Apple pie!
