A Skeptic and God

Poem by Ronnie Knox

 

There was once a man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
If he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no one about in the Quad"

Anonymous Wag in reply to Ronnie's poem

 

Dear sir, Your astonishment's odd
I am always about in the Quad
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be,
Since observed by Yours faithfully----God

Misquotation

Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
