Luke Howard Poem

  By: Ashton & Kate

He was born on November 28, 1772

He was interested in clouds, are you?

He had many brothers, and one sister

His dad didn’t like them being lazy

Especially Luke, who was a bit dazy

He did not go to church

He went to a boarding school

He did not think it was cool

He got a job of making medicine

He made medicine day after day,

and that is how he got good pay.

He quit to study clouds

His father told him to not study clouds,

and that speech did not make him proud

He joined a club that studied science

Every week they would share their studies

They did not share about frogs or bunnies

Luke was brave to share his essay

He named some clouds like the puffy ones in the sky

That could help people invent something to fly

His essay hot printed and read all around

Later some scientist changed it

But only a bit

He married a lady named Marabella

He died at the age of 91

On March 21, 1864

And soon after that, people some learned more.
