Möbius e Klein: Dois limericks

A burleycue dancer, a pip
Named Virginia, could peel in a zip;
But she read science fiction
And died of constriction
Attempting a Möbius strip.
(Cyril M. Kornbluth)

A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Möbius band was divine.
Said he: «If you glue
The edge of two,
You'll get a weird bottle like mine.»
