Through the Looking Glass

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Science has always pursued people’s main interest: Sex, chat, food, and relaxation - the best. Edison, inventive-ideas man, sat under a tree for days And a light bulb fell on his head causing a daze: And seeing *********** in his vision - what a laugh - He invented the pornograph. We know the first phone calls were identified by sound of bell Because the telephone was invented by Alex G Bell. Thank goodness he wasn’t called Alex G Squelch; Or that the inventor wasn’t SIr Toby Belch - Who well understood that a dog’s belly ache Caused Pavlov to invent the pavlova cake; And Newton’s law of gravy: two objects meat - why Do they attract each other’s essence within circle of pie? . To relax after dinner, Whitney invented cotton gin soon after his fine Original and best brew - his potato wine; And Franklin invented the art of leisurely kite flying - But, oh oh, Ben! Shocking bad idea in lightning.

Shocking indeed for poor Ben, syd. Really got a good laugh out of Sir Toby Belch. Edison actually arranged it so he'd hold coins in his hands over a metal bucket as he started to fall asleep. His most "inventive" ideas come from the alpha state and he didn't want to fall asleep and forget them. Very witty poem! Love, Carolyn
