Experimental Scientist

A most important thing to do
is to put on a sock before a shoe
The method that is, by far, the worst
is to position the shoe on first.
An experimental scientist with pride,
I only know, because I tried. 


An exploration motivated by Gray Squirrel's observation:
 
Humans make a big to-do,
because they wear a shoe.
Another animal, of course,
wears a shoe.  He's called a "horse".
From Appaloosa to Kentucky,
a horse shoe is more lucky.

Other important facts for our day to day lives: to win a poem contest you must actually enter the contest, you cannot change the TV channel with the phone or call someone on your TV remote; won't work, I've tried; and, there are 3 holes in a pair of underwear, it's best legs find the right ones.

Thanks Gray - got it! I think I have a few squirrel poems out there, and I'm doing them justice.

Good point! I'll have to examine that possibility.
