"Man, I can't, I shant
formulate an anthem where the words comprise mnemonics
dreaded mnemonics for pi
The numerals just bother me, always
even the dry anterior
try to request something lower (zero)
in numerary aptitude, even I, pantaloon gallant
I cannot actualize the requested mnemonics
the leading fifty, I..."

And if you put all 4 million miles of roads in the USA around the Earth's equator, they would CIRCLE the Earth 157 times. That's a lot of road for our 200 million gas-guzzling cars.

And don't forget organic apple pie with a whole wheat crust. That's a green pie.
