A grook is the name Piet Hein (1905-1996) used for his short, aphoristic poems. They came to wide attention when Martin Gardner mentioned them in his column in Scientific American. Two characteristic grooks:
PROBLEMS
Problems worthy of attack
Prove their worth by hitting back.
OMNISCIENCE
Knowing what
thou knowest not
is in a sense
omniscience.
