Polymath
by joetwo
A polymath am I, with wondrous mind powers,
The names of all the flowers, Euclid’s geometry,
A feel my brain to brim with facts miscellaneous
Surmises extemporaneous, the best philosophy
And to end chemistry.

I practice languages from French to ancient latin
Recite the songs of Chopin, and Chinese History
I plumb the darkest depths of physics hard equations
Behavior of crustaceans, Roman mythology
And for fun poetry
Like the fellow said, folly that.
A polymath I’m not
Although I like to dabble
The sounds I make are said at times
To be nothing at all but babble.
