WHY IS MRS. EINSTEIN SHAKING HER WATCH?
Albert Einstein
Lived in space and time,
But when given a query,
He'd answer with Relativity Theory.
Al thought that you could slow down time
By traveling through space
(And the years would not seem many).
On returning, it would be sublime
To greet some future human race
(Since your own dear family and friends
Would long since have met their ends).
One complication
Would be due to inflation:
Your dime wouldn't be worth a penny.
Einstein also stated that the universe is curved
Like the front end of a toboggan,
So that -- if you could see far enough -- you would be well served
To check out the haircut on the back of your noggin.
WHO'S BEEN MESSING WITH MY FUEL GAUGE?
Amelia Earhart, we surmise,
Flew the Not So Friendly Skies.
To be more specific:
She disappeared in the Pacific.
YUKIKO, SHALL WE VISIT PEARL HARBOR?
Admiral Yamamoto
Posed for a photo
While talking with his General Staff:
"Just for a laugh
And since the winter is cold,
I can't think WHY we
Shouldn't be so bold
As to buzz Hawaii!"
Upon his aircraft carrier,
He got a bit warier,
And said: "If we swoop in from the east,
At least
Let's not visit on a Sunday morn.
It would be so... foreign."
When his raid
Made
The Americans angry enough
That they responded with stuff
Like bazookas and tanks,
Yamamoto replied,
With sadness inside,
"I thought our Zeros were shooting blanks!"
ENRICO, I DON'T KNOW YOU FROM ATOM!
Talking to people and boring them
Inside an ice cream emporium,
Enrico Fermi
Said: "Do you dare me
To make an atom-split?
That should make a hit."
In his humble way
That day,
Enrico took some radium
Under a stadium
(Or was it uranium?
I get them mixed up in my cranium...)
And caused a chain reaction,
Proving that liquefaction
Of foes in a nuclear cloud
Was possible, for crying out loud!
