That's a Fact

Fifteenth century China is where Sunglasses date back
So expressions of judges in court, people could not track!

M and M's owe the Military their early success,
With no sticky trigger finger and stowed with no mess!

Cast as Han Solo in Star Wars, he was the man,
But Burt Reynolds dropped out before filming began!

When a person having their portrait painted failed to show
The artist James Whistler painted his mother don't you know!

The name Atari was chosen to make us think if they can
The Northern California-based company was from Japan
