The poem above was written by a scientist/physicist by the name of Robert Williams Wood. He wrote 2 books which I discovered when going to summer camp in Nova Scotia: How To Tell the Birds from the Flowers and Animal Analogues. This particular poem tickled me because I remember hearing both my mother and some of my teachers going on about how "the pen was mightier than the sword." I actually memorized it when I was a teenager, so many years ago.
In the US, there is no copyright on this work, so I downloaded it and will be posting it over the next few weeks because it is so clever. I hope you enjoy the poems, too, and that they bring a grin and guffaw to you! You can click on the image to enlarge it.
