Petrarchan sonnet

Italian sestet

 

Educators.

 

The classic scholars always taught

their pupils that the world was flat.

The ancient Greeks, changed all of that

With mathematics and deep thought

the geometrics they had wrought.

Some strange new ideas they begat

arriving at a concordat

The world was round they did exhort.

 

Now ever since those days of yore

when thinking men proved doctrine erred.

The wisest scholars held their tongue

and just repeated what they’d heard.

Did not claim to know the score.

We hold this right, until proved wrong
