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.
