Randomling 22: Newton's Poultice

Apple falls from tree
Newton (ouch!) takes notice
Comes up with law of gravity
while wearing a poultice
on the solstice

I did enter quite a while ago. I hope it posted properly. I entered a poem in Casarah's contest and after the contest she said that if I had entered my poem it would have been a winner. For some reason she couldn't see it at her end.

I just threw out some rhymes, like solstice. But I wanted it to be funny. Evidently a lot of people had to look up Newton too. I am getting SO OLD! Could it be classified as a Quintain?

What a nice comment! Usually I just hang everythinng out under your nose, so it's good I can be intriguing! The last line is just rhyming rubbish.
