GRAVITY

(It Won't Hold A Family Together)
Sir Issac Newton caught an apple,
It gave him thoughts on which to grapple.
It struck his head, but he wern't scared,
at 32-feet-per-second squared.

 
"You know, I planted you with care,
And now you failed to ask me where...
To grow... or when to let your apples go,"

-
Sir Issac scolded, with a scoff...

"I'll have to cut your branches off"
--

What some would call the Law of Gravity,
Another view would be depravity.

---

His apples fell where all could see...
Not so far from his own tree.
