A Little Poem

I found this while leafing through a notebook from my grad school days. Two thoughts on that: first, I'm always amazed how many aspects of that program I've used throughout my career (the principles themselves as well as the various paths they've led me down); and second, clearly this was a solid "paying attention" sort of day...

Strudel and Tavern
discovered a cavern,
known for its mystical wonder. 

They traveled the earth
looking for worth
when both disappeared asunder. 

It is there they both learned
of that which they yearned:
To show all the facts pro rata. 

Coming home from afar
Renamed Pie and Bar;
visual representations of data.

Just ridiculous.
