AUTHOR'S NOTE: On March 10, 2011, my school celebrated Pi Day since we would be on Spring Break on March 14th. My math teacher (A.K.A. the Head of the Math Department) made it so that we would celebrate Pi Day in all of our classes. For example, in History, we looked up the history of Pi and made posters to decorate the hallways. In Physics, we made clay spheres of multiple sizes and measured their diameter and volume to calculate the ratio. Mine ended up being the closest in the WHOLE SCHOOL! I spent all class period being a perfectionist, and ended up with 3.1348769… (or something along those lines, I know that it was at least 3.1348). But in English, we wrote haikus about Pi, (hence "Pi-kus") or wrote stories using the number of pi to determine the # of letters in the word (ex. "Now(3) I(1) have(4) a(1) great(5) gladiator(9) to(2) become(6) great(5) and(3) smart(5)." That's a bad example, but you get the idea.) I failed at writing the story, so I wrote pi-kus and made them into a story. This is what I came up with.
It is (obviously) a banter between 2 friends, Mitchie (italicized) and Caitlyn (underlined) as they pass notes. They are in a class (like the English class I described) and have to write Pi-kus, but Mitchie is getting restless and cant write, so Cait tricks her into getting the assignment done.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the haikus and plot.
I wish we could sing
I just wrote a song, too bad
I'm stuck in English.
I know what you mean,
But we have to write Pi-kus
It's Pi day, today.
So we have to write
Some Haikus based on Math's 'Pi'
While we eat some pie?
Yep…I have a plan!
Give me your pie. I'll eat it.
You'll write the pi-kus.
No way dude! No deal.
I won't write your assignment.
And you can't make me.
Not planning on it.
Besides, I was kidding you.
I'll eat while I write.
Yes, you eat YOUR pie.
No, you do not cheat off me.
I still need both Cait!
I deny that fact!
I never said I would cheat!
I said I'd eat pie.
Also, I need pie!
You don't. You're fine without it.
You'll never eat it.
Not to cut you off,
But you said I'd write your work.
That is hardly fair!
I just wanted pie!
There is nothing wrong with that.
Pie tastes really good!
Pie. P-I-E does!
Pi, the number…Not so much
I bet that tastes bad.
No argument there!
That pi doesn't taste yummy.
It tastes like paper.
You would know because…?
On second thought, don't tell me.
I don't want to know.
Don't you smirk at me…
Hey! I just realized something!
You have to guess what.
Please give me a hint…
It has to do with Pi-kus?
It does! Doesn't it?
Yes it has pi-kus
And it deals with us too.
You have one more guess.
You'll have to tell me
I'll never figure it out.
What has us and Pi?
This conversation!
We've been speaking in pi-kus
This entire time!
Took you long enough!
I successfully tricked you!
You're mean. That is true.
You planned this whole thing?
This whole Pi-ku-versation?
I'm so proud of you!
I have two questions:
What's a pi-ku-versation?
And why are you proud?
Pi-ku-versation:
A conversation made of
Only pi haikus.
Answer two: We're done!
And it is about time too.
Stop saying Pi-kus.
