A grook (or gruk in Danish) 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.
