Typical Greed
What takes a company
The size of Ford
To rip of an inventor
Of its own accord
Typical conglomerate
Thinking they own the world
Taken on by an individual
He must be so absurd
In 1978
A Mr Robert William Kearns
Sued Ford Motor Company
For patent infringement earns
It finally went to trial
In the year 1990
A victory for Justice
Against those, who thought they were mighty
Even Chrysler crumbled
As he and his family fought
In America's courts of law
They refused to be bought
Who is Robert William Kearns
As you read this you may ask
He was just a simple inventor
What he invented did its task
The next time it starts to rain
And you are driving in your car
The intermittent windshield wiper
Made this inventor, a court room star
In memory of Mr Robert William Kearns
March 10, 1927 – February 9, 2005
