Physics poetry

1. There is no force, however great
   To pull a wire, however fine
   Into a horizontal line
   That shall be absolutely straight
   
   -- Unknown

2. Stone walls do not a prism make
   They're better made of glass
   If you had studied Science
   You would not be such an ass
   
   -- My father
