A man of the land, Carter knew,
To nature, we must be true.
He advocated for science,
Against fossil reliance,
Sowing seeds for the green to renew.

A Russian with eyes on the stars,
Tsiolkovsky dreamed past the Mars,
With math as his guide,
He took in his stride,
To sketch out space voyages afar.

He faced ridicule, they’d jest and jeer,
But Goddard, he showed no fear.
With propellant and flame,
He made his name,
In rocketry history, he’s a pioneer!

In a grove lay Einstein one day,
’Neath an apple tree’s inviting display.
Hoped for insight anew,
Like old Newton’s big clue,
But the fruit gave no eureka away.

Newton lay 'neath a lofty palm tree,
When a coconut smashed on his knee.
“I realize so painfully,
The mystery of gravity.”
A coconut, not an apple, inspired his theory.

There once was a cat named Albert’s pet,Whose physics ideas you wouldn’t forget, It solved E=mc^2, With a twitch of its tail and a mew,Proving cats can be smart, that’s a sure bet!
