Premium MemberHerodotus Theory of Winter

Herodotus thought that the sun,
When blown from its course, summer's done.
That wasn't quite true,
Was maybe coo-coo,
But thinking about it is fun.


Premium MemberHis Legs Would Not Reach to the Ground

A man from Connecticut found
His legs would not reach to the ground.
“I wish I was shorter,”
He told a reporter,
“To stop all this floating around.”

Newton’s Rotten Luck

Sir Isaac Newton, so great,
Had the apple been rotten and late,
No physics would have been discovered yet,
No derivations would have ever been set.

Premium MemberThe Pi That’s of Math Has Its Day

The pi that’s of math has its day,
But that of the baker, no way.
Though both are quite round,
Less merit is found,
In pies that in stomachs do lay.

Words are funny

Time is a word used to understand things that have passed,
A word that could mean slow or conceptually fast,
Do you understand what that means,
Or do you grab on and fly by those pant seams,
We use words to try to make sense of things,
From cosmological couplings to New York fashion flings,
A verbal frequency somehow makes sense,
For our conceptions are learned in a past tense.


Premium MemberMrs O'Leary's response to string theory

Someone asked old Mrs. O'Leary,
"What do you think about string theory?"
She said, "I don't believe in such a thing,
because it doesn't cover everything,
and what it leaves uncovered can be pretty damn scary."

Premium MemberWhat Einstein dreamed in his drowsy brain

What Einstein dreamed in his drowsy brain
would’ve driven any normal person insane.
He saw God with a face to be feared,
yelling, "I already told you, e equals mc squared!
Albert! How many times do I have to explain!"

Premium MemberOff Duty - A Star Trek Deleted Scene

Captain Picard enters his quarters
after a hard day on the bridge, the
Enterprise had left Klingon space
    
    Tea, Earl Grey, hot

The replicator whirred inaudibly

    Damn it! 
    Cup!
    CUP!

    Water, soapy, hot

The replicator responded again

    Damn it!
    Red alert!

Limericks

A scientist said to his mate
“We came from the line of primate!”
Said one of the men,
While waving his pen,
“Refer to yourself, not us, mate.”

An ape heard the scientist say
That men share the same gene as they.
The ape proudly said,
“You’d wish you were dead--
Insult us no more or you’ll pay.”

Premium MemberAlien Invasion

I don’t have a basement
there’s no hills here to run to
no caves for miles around

haven’t stockpiled tins of beans
or tomatoes
or peach slices

panic buying hasn’t been bought
no guns no knives 
except cutlery

and I’m not a film star
getting out of impossibilities
saving the world with nice teeth

so I guess I’ll just stay in bed
or pull up a chair
watching it all eating crisps

Bleach In Flask No Need To Mask

Immune to the virus, I am. 
I eat green eggs and ham. 
That I eat daily with a fork. 
Hah, science, I’m no dork!

I use Johnson & Johnson shampoo. 
So I’m topically vaxxed, immune too!
Sure add bleach in my drinking water. 
Since Covid can’t live where it’s hotter. 

Wearing a mask is just for Halloween. 
Needles are for fun, not a vaccine. 
So screw your mask, I’ll see you later. 
From my bed, and shiny new ventilator.

Chemistry Teacher

My teacher was not so good as yours seems to be,
His name was Goodwill and he taught us Chemistry.
He always wanted us to answer difficult questions,
And beat you strong if you cannot balance equations.
If you are late in class he'd twist and twist your ear
Until it falls to the ground and you'll pick it there.
He was so strong when he held you you'd wet your pants...
(He had gigantic hands I once gave him a compliment)
But a person can survive twenty four strokes I was the experiment,
Don't ever disturb Goodwill and give him a comment!

One time he held a student by the door
And twisted his ear till it fell to the floor.
I've never seen Goodwill apologize before
And he will never, for that I'm sure.

Short Circuit

The current whizzes around the wire.
If there's no resistor, there will be fire.

Premium MemberReading 101's Wild Ride

So boring were 1950's school reading primers --
   See Dick. See Dick run.  Run, Dick. Run, run, run.
   See Jane. See Jane run.  Run, Jane. Run, run, run. --
The status quo reigned. Schookids' futures' no fun

Then along came Dr. Suess' cat and changed all of that --
   Sally and I and the fish jumped up and down on the ball
   The cup and the plate, the spoon and the cake, all standing tall --
Who cares if later we watched all those cool things fall

By 1957, kids of all ages were moving and grooving a lot --
   to Sam-I-am, Yertle the Turtle, and Marvin K. Mooney
   the Vipper of Vipp and the Horton the Who driving us loony -- 
Poor timing, Sputnik 1: USA's finest now force-fed Science. O, ruined we!

Shattered Matters

Pick it 
Up that 
There in

Front of 
You then
Throw it

Over 
There
Behind

You where you
Once were
Before

When you 
Stepped out 
Your door and

Walked
Passed
Other

People's glass
Houses all the while
Smiling knowing that you

Threw the first
Stone at
Your

Very

Own
