Said Mr. Rolls to Mr. Royce,
"We are compelled to make
A critical marketing choice."

Said Mr. Royce to Mr. Rolls,
"We'll build limousines for the King
And the wealthiest of souls."

Said Mr. Rolls to Mr. Royce,
"A demographic extremely small.
You've not been thinking evidently."

"Oh, God damn it all to bloody hell--
Offer the less well-off the Bentley!"

St. Peter Speaks of Modern Physics
to Sir Isaac Newton
Ike, old boy, I've got some bad news.
I tried to keep it from you,
But I can no longer hide it.

Now they're going around and saying
There's gravity inside it.

Wrote often of the sweet odors that gardens embowered.
It is well for us to remember that the loves of those poets
And they themselves seldom bathed and never showered.
