Newton And The Apple Tree!



When Newton sat under an apple tree

And saw an apple fall

What did he discover, dear children?

I want an answer from all


An excited chatter followed

The whole class in a mess

Everyone was in a bid to answer

To have a golden star on his dress!


A child stood up from the back

And after a silence for free

He said, “Newton thanked Lord

That he wasn’t sitting directly under a coconut tree!"

'I like Oranges to Apples. Damn! I wish I sat below an orange tree... :D' That would have been my feeling

Meghna

@ Dreamer- I agree! We wouldn't have had that law and then we poor children wouldn't have needed to study that too! :D

@ Peter Pie- Thanks a lot! I too think what would have happened? Maybe Newton was intelligent to make that law even after sitting under a coconut tree!! :D

@ ANoop- Hey...you are a genius! I could have been the kid (actually I wish I was!)I would have enjoyed laughing outside the class where the teacher would have sent me for punishment!

@ Stephi- Thank you so much! :D

@Phoenix- Nice idea. but I like both of them and by the way, what would have happened if Newton would have sat directly under the orange tree? he.....he

Hey there Meghna!
A coconut tree!
You must be kidding!
If i were there, I'd quickly get a move on and go! Because the coconuts might fall on my head and it would really hurt!!! LOL
You are really a lover of poems!

@ Aarthi- Thanks for the tag..I'll try to do it soon!

@ D Sinner- Hey, Another nice idea! I could do a small jig! What is the harm, huh?

@ Nana- Hey..I too would be as intelligent as you to move on..but do you think the great Newton would be as intelligent? :D

Hey Confessions,

Unapologetic Confessions
