You're shouting from the roof, you've got a lovely proof
Due to Bailey, Borwein and Plouffe*BBP-type formulas give a way of computing the hexadecimal digits of pi independently of each other. Important work, I think you'll agree.
Their work is great, it's true, I'd just prefer if you
Found something useful to do
Forgive me acting gruff, I've just had enough
It's Pi Day, I'm in a huff
