Newton

I remember Newton,
not much about
what he said and did,
something about getting
bonked on the head
by an apple,
(though it’s not a historical fact)
but I named
my hamster after him.
He didn’t care much
for apples,
Newton not Isaac,
but he stuffed
his cheeks so full
of hamster treats
that he couldn’t
get in his Pringles can
in which he slept.
I wonder
if there’s
a theory for that,
something about two objects
not being able to inhabit
the same space.
All I know is
quantum
is a good Scrabble word.
