Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

History

If Newton hadn't done his thing
How would we all stay down
Pythagoras said his pies are square
And that the world is round

Columbus sailed an open sea
And found a landmass there
If Einstein had no relatives
Would M C still be square 

Now Alexander Graham Bell
And this might sound quite drastic
Without his input all of us
Would talk to lumps of plastic

Fleming gave us penicillin
He made it out of mould
While good old Bill Lord Kelvin
Gave us ways to say we're cold

Armstrong took just one small step
Which then he said was giant
Some say it was all a fib
But NASA stands defiant

But all of that is history
It's stuff that's gone before
What a shame it is that we
Don't make it anymore

Sandra Doolan July 25, 2022 at 1:02 AM Wow, you really made me think, I like that. A very clever poem, well done. Sandra Doolan Terry Flood July 25, 2022 at 1:42 AM Thank-you, Sandra. I often wonder, when I receive a comment on an older poem, how on Earth the reader stumbled across it. But I’m glad you did and glad you enjoyed. Terry
