Pub Quiz Theory

 

Albert Einstein got an i-pad,

flicked the switch on – turned off his brain,

played Candy Crush and Donkey Kong -

was never quite the same again.

He won a quiz night at the pub

by Googling facts and anagrams

and when the music round came up

he slyly swiped to get Shazzam.

He became the talk of the town -

a brainy bastard – all could see,

but his knowledge was just screen deep

looking at it relatively.

 

Albert Einstein got an i-pad

on his birthday, when he was three.

Stopped thinking ten minutes later

with a Netflix download for free.

Albert, Darwin, Aristotle -

thick as pigshit – learned to cheat,

a trio-team of ‘could have beens’

winning cold beer and plates of meat.

Back at home creating chaos,

thought he was so bloody clever

with his theory that all would know

E=MC whatever…

A very clever bit of satire on modern information accessibility and the freedom to explore while arriving at nothing of any real consequence (IMO). Also it is entertaining which I thin good poetry should sometimes do. Good stuff for live reading, of course. Go for it Ian!

Good one Ian...very topical. Pub quizzes are now a competition to see who is best at googling
