Po-ettes wot I wrote

Vincent Van Gogh
Lopped his lug off
And found it difficult to hear
But could always lend an ear.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Numbered for the most part
His works with a K
(He was funny that way).

Schubert wrote melodies
For his ‘Schubertiad’ parties
Another no Opus was he
Numbering works with a D.

Archimedes jumped in his bath
Displacing water, what a laugh
‘Eureka’ he cried to those gathered below
As his weight of water found somewhere to go.

Copernicus was a clever one
Saying the planets orbit the Sun
Trashing Ptolomy’s precursor
That the case was vice-versa.
