Math limericks

This one's for you, Reuven (Congrats to anyone who can figure out this limerick):

((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 2)) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

p.s. A hint:
The one above is actually harder than the original. The original equation was actually ((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^(1/2))) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

and no cheating

I'm actually cheating on my LJ hiatus by commenting, but I got it and I'm proud. SSH, don't tell anyone!

A dozen, a gross and a score,
Plus three times the square root of four,
Divided by seven,
Plus five and eleven,
Equals eighty-one and no more.
