Happiest Days of My Life

HAPPIEST    DAYS    OF    MY    LIFE  ( EXERPT FROM DIARY )


Wednesday afternoon :-

I was sitting  under a tree and 
Watching apples falling -  said to myself, 
Wow  I’ve just discovered 
The law of gravitation.
My wife ran out and said 
Isaac come and get your 
Dinner before it goes cold. 
It was meat-loaf – my favourite.
After dinner I  wrote “Principia”  - 
Cool book, kinda new   ideas, 
Nice read but it didn’t sell well.

Thursday morning:-

Sort of  invented calculus, but made no notes.
Found later that Leibnitz also 
Did same, but kept his notes.
Must keep notes in future.
Dinner – sausages and potatoes.

Friday:-

Rained  during the  morning, but saw rainbows later.
Discovered  that light is splittable into colours.
(Kept note of discovery)
Mashed potatoes and lamb chop.
These are some of the happiest days of my life – 
My wife is such a good cook.
