Alfred Wegener

Wegener was a weather man

Who instead studied the land

Wegener noticed coastlines matching

Even though few scientists gave their backing

By 1915 he published his theories

Many scientists still had queries

Wegener’s father-in-law was annoyed

Thought land he should avoid

Wegener thought many were narrow minded

That they should instead be excited

In 1926 Wegener became a weather professor

He was no longer seen as a guesser

In 1930 he went to Greenland for the last time

Wegener died in that clime

Years later Hess proposed how the continents moved

Thus Wegener’s theories were, lo and behold, proved
