Russels Teapot
I say there is a China teapot
Revolving about the sun
Twixt earth n mars
It’s much too small to see
By telescope or all our skills
But I say it is there
I say you can’t disprove it
You may call me mad
Talking a nonsense
But if it were read of in ancient books
Instilled in the minds of children
Taught as sacred truth on Sundays
Doubting this I’d be marked eccentric
Need help psychiatrists help
Or attentions of the Inquisitor in an earlier time
