Sidney Beck Poet Couplet

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.
