A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Moebius strip was divine.
He said, "If you glue
The edges of two,
You get a weird bottle like mine."
A burlecue dancer, a pip,
Named Virginia, could peel in a zip.
But she read science fiction
And died of constriction
Attempting a Moebius strip.
(The second may be credited to Clifton Fadiman's _Fantasia Mathematica_, which
is where I first saw it. I have no idea of attribution for the first.)
Roger M. Firestone ("I'm not a mathematician/computer scientist, I'm an
unemployed actor.")
