A Mathematical Romance

I found this somewhere, thought it was pretty creative and funny.


They both originated at (0,0) and from then on, they integrated up to infinity. Her curves were continuously varying, and even though he was odd, he was the real function. The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair. She was his f(x), he was her g(x), and henceforth, fg became a valid function for all real x. They were both in their prime, so in next to no time their lines became horizontal and parallel. Soon they became coincident. She was awed by the magnitude of the normal to his plane, and he was amazed by the integrated volume of her conical projections. "Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum. He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude and, more importantly, the frequency of his simple harmonic motion. The forced oscillations made them undergo multiple rotations about their axes, while arbitrarily heading them towards their collective asymptote, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit. After that they slept like logarithms.
But before the next period of this cyclic event could begin, he realized she was too complex to handle while he seemed plain irrational to her. Later she found him taking a right-handed limit, that was a problem, because it was an improper form. He meanwhile had decided that she was square. He gave her the slip below the x axis while simultaneously, she approached her ex, and so they became divergent.
