Archimedes had big feeties
with big arches, heels and toes
when he plunged them in the bath
he noticed how the water rose
his thought was this; no maths exist
that footy volume can disclose
but he surmised as waters rise
ablution the solution shows
So Archimedes with wet feet
runs yelling out into the street
Eureka! he was heard to cry
to each and every passersby
who wondered what on earth he meant
and also where his toga went
and why he found a state of grace
from how much water toes displace.
