Poetry: Inventors

by Paul Erland

Created on: July 10, 2011

"We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything."  -  Thomas Edison.


Edison, that big know-it-all,

Thought his intellect was small;

Having invented the phonograph,

He shrugged it off with just a laugh:

“Our minds are 78, said he,

While God’s is a 33.”
