ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Alexander Tait (poet)

Hey there kiddo, do you know what a poet is?

A poet is someone who writes poems! And do you know what poems are? They're like little stories but told in a really special way with rhymes and beautiful words.

Now, there was a man named Alexander Tait, and he was a poet too! He lived a long time ago, way before you and I were born. He was born all the way back in 1704!

Alexander Tait wrote a lot of poems about different things like love, nature, and even funny little stories. Some people really liked his poems and thought they were really good!

He was very good at writing and making words sound nice when they were put together. You know how sometimes you hear a song and the words just sound good? Well, that's kind of like what Alexander Tait did with his poems.

Even though he lived so long ago, some people still read his poems today! It's like a special way to keep pieces of history alive for us to enjoy.
