The Hanged Man and the Hyperbolic Disk

I have been away with the faeries for the past week or so, in another world where I live the life of my dreams... unbelievably there was not a computer in sight for several days. I actually wrote with pen and paper.... many pens, many words... lots of doodles, lots of fun...

Part of my awayness did include some Tarot of course, and I wanted to share a crazy poem that was created in less than 15 minutes between myself and two other students, each with a body of words from their chosen topic. Mine of course was the Tarot, I wonder if you can work out the others?

A functioning whippersnapper magician
the naughty fault finding moon
and a green snot yagi devil
attended the parallel school for lovers
at the cradle crone complex
run by the passive booster seat goddess
where the chariot bootees the circuitry
and the hanged man wipes the hyperbolic disk

As you can see, we had a ball :)

I just had to google Hyperbolic Disks...

Wow!! Amazing images, and this led me to Daina Tamaina, a Latvian mathematician who is specialising in creating crochet with hyperbolic planes... the photo's I have seen from her crochet book are stunning. I share one below.... isn't it fabulous?
