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
