Invisible except to abstract thought
We see them with an eye we must construct
The transcendental numbers came unsought
We only know a few, so we were taught.
Pi and e from inner space were plucked
Invisible except to abstract thought
Even calling zero, number naught
Was very hard just like the empty set
The transcendental numbers came unsought
Once we defined real numbers then we light
The way to finding what we now detect.
Invisible except to abstract thought
Danger lurks where men have taken flight,
Into the abstract world without respect.
The transcendental numbers were not sought
Like we put a plug in to connect
We may be shocked by feeling its effects.
Invisible except to abstract thought,
The transcendental numbers , hardly bought
