The Showman

Did Albert Einstein write poetry ?
It would be something else to see..
He would tell us the speed of light.
The square root of infinity..

He may even take us, to where ?
The place that we have never been .
It will be so interesting,
that we will want to go again.

So Mr. Einie, come tweak our ear.,
with all that strange gobbledy....
I’ll have to make this a sonnet,
nothing rhymes with gobbledy....

Sadly he’s a fancy showman,
that was never heard of again.

Hi Chopsticks!  Yeah, but it's a funny enough blooper.  When I write myself into a corner, I hope it's a corner booth with a beer and acouple of fiends.

Best, Jim

Ocean, thanks for the comment .

Your writing plan sounds like a winner to me.

I liked it. When Ess gets up, he can go after the meter, but I enjoyed it.

One suggestion, perhaps, is that the end couplet should go back to the dominant theme rather than a complete break.

Maybe Albert and you discussing sitting on a stove verses sitting next to a pretty girl of something.
