Aww, it's an emo poem...

This poem is called "The Square Root of Three", written by David Feinberg. It was featured in the movie "Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay", but I haven't seen the movie. Nor do I plan to, but anyway. Enjoy the poem! :)

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
