Poetry Is Everywhere
POETRY IS EVERYWHERE
There exists a poetry in everything
Even science and maths including.
But just imagine that Einstein fellow
Writing his lines as follows :
E equals m b squared…? No
E equals m d squared….? No
E equals m c squared……ah, sounds good!
Newton saw bananas falling but understood
That they meant nothing to him - just food.
Then some lemons falling…no good.
But, apples ! As soon as he saw them
It locked in his poetry-brain stem.
And Archimedes, watching water gush
Over the sink, but got no rush.
Or spill over the soup bowl ? No again..
But in his bathtub……OK eureka in his brain!
How about Pythagoras who often made rants
About the squares on his chequered pants?
No good. Squares on a hippopotamus?
Afraid not, it was too monotonous.
For old Pytho’s poetry muse
If had to be squares on the hypotenuse.
