I suppose saying “natural log” invalidates the last limerick - I’ll allow it.
Instead of “Is the log” maybe you could say “Is nat-log”?
Or just pronounce it “lawn” like all my calculus instructors did
That one is weird to me, but maybe just because I’ve never heard it.

The rest is standard or at least common, IMO | is pipe and {} braces. * is often called asterisk or star but splat is just better. And # is most definitely not “hashtag”. Here’s an overview of what’s out in the wild.
Why does “kicking it up a notch” have to entail completely butchering the meter? Actually infuriating.
Not a fan of the second one. The first line doesn’t have enough syllables and the whole rhyme scheme requires that you mispronounce Z.
Zee was zee long before posh English twats decided to say zed.

Zed technically came first. Greek Zeta -> French Zede -> English Zed.
But I’ll do anything to get away from French influence on my language
While I am part of the ‘zed’ group, there is no “correct” pronounciation for anything because it all depends on accent and culture. Just embrace the diversity.
“mispronounce” Z. Yeah no, anyone who calls it “Zed” are the ones mispronouncing it. Z rhymes with G, P, and V in the alphabet song. End of story.
Zeds dead
I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.
Oh dear. That’s definitely going to summon something bad.
Yea, like my highschool pre-calculus teacher
!Just kidding he was a great teacher!<
4 + (6! - 0.5(12^2 + (403 + 1))) = 2(15^2)
Four plus the difference between
The factorial of six and the mean
Of twelve squared and four
Hundred three (plus one more)
Equals double the square of fifteen.
5 and 11 are also called a hand and a span
These are the best poems I’ve ever read.
Limerics are supposed to be filthy.
These are just limerish.
There once was a comic named Susan… #QI
What does all that have to do with the price of nantucket bucket?
Reminds me of the Math Song by Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.

Just recall the Rule of Three
Thrice the same ingredient
