4/08/10 Patricia A. Hawkenson’s Reflections – Science UN-FAIR!
PROMPT 8: Write a TOOL poem.
Science UN-FAIR!
Perhaps, it is because
I have never actually
seen one
that my creative mind
imagines
a barbarous, torturous device
so heinous
that every lazy-assed
good-for-nothing
12-year-old
runs screaming back
to their dining room table
finishing their project,
proving the combined
measurement of angles
will equal 360 degrees,
thereby creating
a tessellating design
equivalent to the twisted
mind of Escher
and pointed barbed-wire fences,
holding back cattle
and procrastinating children.
Assuming, of course,
that my dad actually
OWNS
a cattle prod.
Some theories should not be proved.
