I like to talk to you in Rhyme
Of visions from another time
Of diplomats and saber rattle
Of private intrigue and bloody battle
Of kings and queens, poet and peasant
History is not always pleasant.

Yet, something rises above the mess
That will the Polyhistor bless,
Something happening in the heavens,
Seven Stars, (and other Sevens)
Maybe it won’t be this year.
(I checked. Apparently I’m still here.)

To be alive and see the Day
When all our anguish rolls away.
And History, over billows roll,
Will all be rolled up like a scroll.
And all of us will shout “Hosanna!”
On a very SPECIAL Rosh Hasanah
When we will find the Hidden Manna.
(Polyhistor becomes a Pollyanna!)

Have you met my sister?
She’s a polyhistor!
And because she is a liberal,
She is often poly-hysterical!.................

I once knew a woman of great learning — she wrote a book about modern fabrics. It covered Rayon, Dacron, Lycra, Neoprene and all the others. She was a real Polyhistor.

not a lot of polyhistors in the NFL... they are going to be obsolete if they keep going down this road.

Hillary considers herself a ployhistorian. She thinks she’s an expert on politics, sociology, medicine, and the Bible!

Chelsea Manning, a traitorous miss/mister
Harvard brass thought she/he’s a polyhistor
They offered a fellowship
To this cowardly yellow sh!t
But rescinded when cooler heads dissed ‘er

Hillary thought we could not resist her
But her demeanor was like a blister
That took its toll
On our nation’s soul
A story for Ken Burns or other polyhistor

Oh, the forgetful leftists in academentia and demedia!

They propagandize what they want, what they demand, but only leading the polyhysterical rants and riots of their followers in academentia and demedia.
