Quick, Igor, Fetch the Subject
Quick, Igor, Fetch the Subject
By Elton Camp
At last Dr. Fraggle has achieved success
He’s developed a potion to bring distress
“A mad scientist they dare to call me!
Now who’s insane we will very soon see.”
“For if my elixir proves to work under test
Its power will soon be felt by all the rest.”
“Helping mankind has been far overrated
Most people I meet, I’ve instantly hated.”
“My research, grants foundations all deny.
But their evaluations were nothing but a lie.”
“That my work has value they will now find
My potion’s fumes will change their mind.”
“Other scientists will beat a path to my door.
None will ever dare to revile me anymore.”
“And the grand name of Fraggle will be hailed
Unless I fail and then I’ll probably be jailed.”
