Just three little questions my dear friends,

I hope you can lend a hand,

Each scenario happened today,

And I still don’t quite understand.

 

If the square of the hypotenuse,

Is the sum of squares on either side,

How do you get an Articulated lorry,

Through a gate just 10 feet wide.

 

The calculated arc of a cannonball,

Hits square the castle wall, not the moat,

So how come my good lady misses by miles,

When throwing me the TV remote.

 

Modern vehicle combustion engines,

Are so confusing as to how they work,

But stranger still is that a Ford and a Vauxhall, 

Thought they could overtake me in my Merc.

 

Thank you
