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
