A 4 & 20 Blackbird Kind of Pi
Graysen Norwood
Four & twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing.
A very special pastry for a very special king.
POETRY
For the king had royal counselors, but one of them untrue.
To take the kingdom for his own is what he planned to do.
Those loyal to the royal could not get a message through,
For the royal counselor traitor screened all the messages too.
Now the king he liked mathematics, so mathematicians in their attics
Put a code into equations, informations and persuasions;
Indications with these clever tricks to open up a pastry pie.
With three point one and four one six this message passed the traitor by.
Four & twenty blackbirds baked in a pi.
Those loyal to the royal found some blackbirds that could sing
With sweet voices born of pigeons. (This was a very special thing).
These birds would sing sweet voices sitting high upon their stools
To call out fifty shieldmen loved by wise men and by fools.
