The wheel affords
mobility
to peasants and
nobility
the shining light
of history’s inventions;
did some astute
Neanderthal
watch rounded rocks
rotate and fall
and figure things
of friction, shapes and tensions?
If only Thomas
Edison
had studied hard in
medicine
the common cold
would hold no dread for millions;
if Alex Bell and
Gutenberg
had met than surely
MS Word
would not have
netted Gates those megasquillions.
If Colt, Nobel and
Remington
had teamed up down
in Bloomington
and made a gun that
killed a race completely,
then modern world’s
harmonium
would never need
plutonium
the Curies could have
killed disease discreetly.
We thank Yale for
security
whilst living in
obscurity
he gambled on how
paranoid the nation;
now criminals
felonious
will find
themselves erroneous
unless they have a
cryptic combination.
Was Doubleday
pragmatical?
or simply on
sabbatical
to come up with a
game of bats and pitchers;
then Baird with due
intensity
could see the
viewing density
it they could see
it now they’d be in stitches!
Marconi, Otis,
Davenport
all dreamt outside
the normal thought
yet all had their
detractors and decriers;
be open-minded,
that is clear
and soar into the
stratosphere
invent something –
there’s seven billion buyers!
