Eureka Poem by Ima Ryma

Eureka



Archimedes, an ancient Greek,
Was known for his findings in math.
How to find volume he did tweak
In the midst of taking a bath.
As he lowered himself into
The tub, he saw the water rise.
His bod - a displacement did do,
Volume for volume - oh how wise!
Thus, any object's volume can
In water be measured complete.
From the tub Archimedes ran,
Shouting 'Eureka' down the street.

'Eureka' - Greek for 'I have found.'
But not his clothes - he was not gowned!
