The Famous Professor

Professor Immanuel Emmersly Keene

showed proof, beyond all doubt, that the grass was green

and then, for an encore, he proved it was true

the sky above was, indisputably, blue.

Although dull, uneducated folks like us

might wonder, “Why prove what is so obvious?”

he was celebrated by all of his peers

as the most brilliant thinker in 500 years.
