Book Of Facts Poems | Examples


Premium Member amazing facts

here is an amazing book of facts
researched facts, real facts
not alternative facts.
eye roll.

I take notes because facts fascinate me.
the brain is not fully formed until you are….
I guess 12
wrong!
the answer is 25.
What?
I had two children before my brain was fully formed?

a spider’s brain is too big for its head,
so its brain oozes down into its legs.
ugh!

cockroaches can live without a head or a brain.
I knew this already
my cousin dated plenty of cockroaches

What was Picasso’s first word?

It was lapiz
Lapiz is pencil in Spanish
I read this printed in a book of facts.
How did the fact-checkers verify this? Hmmmmm
Curious isn’t it?

The Story Told - Free Fall

Trouble filling up a glass 
halfway spilt
destined to dismantle
a seeping mind
thought once to be one of a kind
but lately left behind
books beaming with success
slipping off her dress
uncovering secrets hidden deep
making me weep

knowledge known to make a man
but too much gets you the frying pan
when whispers are told
about growing old
maid    in a minute
a minuet   in triple time anyway you spin it
you think we cant tell
oh go to hello
in your cap just another feather
let's talk about the weather

a lion lying upon the rough rock
thoughts only of a twisted clock
guarding the den
of iniquity then
read the riot act
lost in a book of facts
don't lie
goodbye
yellow brick road
the story's been told
