Name Dropper

NAME DROPPER One day I had lunch with the Queen We ate fresh garden peas round and green One of mine rolled toward her Sent back in short order “No thanks, One don’t know where it’s been” On that day I dined with the Queen We had soup from a large tureen In my nervous state I knocked over her plate Now I eat looking on Tower Green I once asked my friend Francis Crick With the double helix your shtick Does your DNA Ever get in the way He said Geoffrey, don’t be such a pr**k I asked Einstein what had his brain creaking He said when your velocity’s peaking If you near speed of light It’s possible you might Meet yourself coming back, relatively speaking When it comes to name dropping, my lord! You can’t go much higher than Gawd Though I have to say We don’t speak every day He calls me when He’s feeling bored
