Not a Trick Question

“Mr. Gooch threw a football with me.”
Oh, did he teach you the right way to throw it?
“Well, I don’t know if it was the right way.”

Haven’t we all taken tests where the question asks,
“True or false: The AMA Journal noted that
In Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling,
As God reaches to Adam, Eve waits with others
In a shape that looks like a brain,
Showing graphically that all things come
From the mind of God.”

And we’re left wondering if the real question
Is whether the name of the Journal is correct,
Because the rest of the answer is so obviously true.
Just how tricky is this professor?

My son, I simply wanted to know if you had any teaching
On football throwing. Let’s avoid those trick questions.
