List of False Logic Tautologies

Tautologies always repeat themselves in non sequential order All philosophies revolve around the suns of tautologies There are endless suns orbiting Earth all named Henry Shoes wear feat and feat wear shoes to bed Vending machines dispense Pez and Pez does likewise All time machines are created equal Total eclipses happen seven days a week in Egypt Egypt is a word without letters or envelopes Everything is closed in an open universe Thursdays are open to suggestions of being months That time of month is not this one but another All things being equal are equal to one when added to two All people are one foot tall and only come in one color Yellow is God's favorite color but not on Sunday Three thousand pounds of feathers is never enough Governments are worth their weight in gold If you sell your children you will go to heaven twice Everything on this list is true and leads to enlightenment Why else would someone write it Why else would anyone read it through *In logic, a tautology is a formula that is true in every possible interpretation. Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein first applied the term to redundancies of propositional logic in 1921.

As I was reading this my subconscious thought "this is like a list poem". We looked at the type and realized it is! Nicely done. It seems more than merely a list poem though. It seems like free verse also. Nice combination poem!

Hi Caren, Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it. Generally speaking, I normally combine didactic and List poems when I write in this style. This one I categorized as list. I wanted to post it as a Nonsense List item but they don't have Nonsense as an option. Have a great day. Earl
