Today’s prompt ~ A GENUINE GENIUS
A GENUINE GENIUS
by John Yeo
The inventor’s name was Sir Ponsonby-Smythe
A man who thought of almost everything,
The wonderful news was he was still alive.
~
A genuine genius who would always strive
To attain his goal and forge an upswing.
The inventor’s name was Sir Ponsonby-Smythe.
~
He managed to blow himself up yet survive
His angelic thoughts simply took wing,
The wonderful news was he was still alive.
~
When Death arrived he snatched the scythe
Refusing to accept Death’s deadly sting,
The inventor’s name was Sir Ponsonby-Smythe.
~
He would lapse into unconsciousness, then revive,
His genius brain cells would sparkle and zing,
The wonderful news was he was still alive.
~
Our genuine genius simply refused to connive
Or succumb to any unfortunate downswing.
The inventor’s name was Sir Ponsonby-Smythe.
The wonderful news was he was still alive.
