The Genzing Gardens Pip One day When a small seed Has grown Maybe twenty, to thirty years from now A future Isaac Newton Perhaps, somehow Will wander Within a small park For a lark And admire the array Of flowering nature And blossoming trees On display, respondent in their beauty Whilst pondering On scientific thingies Looking for Just that one moment Of true inspiration The Spring Becomes Summer Summer turns to Autumn And still The ignition key of inspiration Lies dormant As a dead dandelion Until one cool icy blue-skied day He sits beneath an apple tree His thoughts meandering At that moment An apple falls As destiny calls And hits him squarely on the head He is rushed to hospital And upon arrival And much recovered Declares "Eureka!" (no bathwater involved) " Do not ponder beneath apple trees in Autumn!" Sometimes wisdom Needs physical intervention!
