Conked Him on the Head

One day in good old England,
in an orchard where all the colors blend,
a man names Issac Newton brought a book
and settled down in his favorite nook.
Suddenly an apple fell, it conked'im in the head,
put him for a week in bed.

The eighth day he woke with a strange idea'r.
"Why, now it is all quite clear!
There is a universal law of gra-vi-ty;
all must obey, and guess what? It was discovered by me!"

Some people called him crazy,
said, "what rubbish, pfft, gravity!"
"Old Newt, that's an insane idea'r!"
Oh how they did laugh and jeer!

But one day one of their kind slipped and fell down a well.
And from the dark pit they hear him yell,
"The Old Newt was right,
his point is in sight.
Everyone and everything, even me,
must obey the universal law of gravity!"
