A conversation in Facebook prompted one of my colleagues to suggest that someone should develop a book of psychological poetry.?R. D. Laing's book "Knots" (1970) is the only book I could think of that would fit this bill.?But then I remembered this limerick from Les Smith¡¯s (1996) ¡°Critical Readings on Piaget.¡± The child thinks you only can know What the evidence happens to show Till she cries out, "FORSOOTH! There are logical truths That are necessarily so!" (p. 412) So, in response, I tried my hand at one too: There once was a man named Piaget. People thought he only liked stages, but hey! He also studied snails and how children fail. And he did it by watching them play. Then I wondered if you might have your own psychological poems.?Do you?
