Poems from "A Space Child's Mother Goose"

published 1958: Verses by Frederick Winsor
===============================
1.
Probable-Possible, my black hen
She lays eggs in the Relative When.
She doesn't lay eggs is the Positive Now
Because she's unable to Postulate How.

8.
Three jolly sailors from Blaydon-on-Tyne
They went to sea in a bottle by Klein.
Since the sea was entirely inside the hull
The scenery seen was exceedingly dull.

20.
Russell and Whitehead and Hegel and Kant!
Maybe I shall and maybe I shan't.
Maybe I shan't and maybe I shall.
Kant Russell Whitehead, Hegel et. al.
