Mathematical Limerick Gone Wrong

A limerick: 12 + 144 + 20 + 3√4 7 + (5 × 11) = 9² + 0 Doesn’t look like a limerick to you? Try this: A dozen, a gross, and a score Plus three times the square root of four Divided by seven Plus five times eleven Is nine squared and not a bit more. THE HECK HECK HECK HECCCCCCKKKKKKKKK POETRY WAS NOT MEANT TO BE USED LIKE THIS

A screenshot presents a mathematical expression rewritten as a poem, with each line describing part of the calculation in awkward limerick form. The punchline is the exaggerated reaction that poetry was never meant to be used this way, mocking overly literal and convoluted wordplay.
