Gee, Lisa, that's not what I got.  I wasn't going to do this so others
would have the pleasure of finding it out, but here goes anyway.

For 
                         _
        12 + 144 +20 + 3V4               2
	------------------   + 5 (11) = 9   + 0
	       7


I get
	A dozen, a gross and a score,
	plus three times the square root of four
		divided by seven
		plus five times eleven
	is nine squared and not a bit more.

But as long as it scans, so what.

By the way, this is a good time to point out that many of the alleged four
line limericks are indeed five line limericks with the proper meter and
rhyme scheme if you stick a newline into the third line.
