The Law of Spiral Springs
Robert Hooke caused quite a commotion
In the academic ocean
When in spite of his Gown
With a lady of the Town
He enjoyed simple harmonic motion
Not before had he seemed so spry
That nobody could deny
He’d a verve and a pep
And a spring in his step
As he walked along the High
Thus out of his indiscretion
That made such a lasting impression
He cognised and saw
There must be a law
Of extension and compression
