OR The Child Is Father Of The Man, But Not For Quite A While
So Thomas Edison Never drank his medicine; So Blackstone and Hoyle Refused cod-liver oil; So Sir Thomas Malory Never heard of a calory; So the Earl of Lennox Murdered Rizzio without the aid of vitamins or calisthenox; So Socrates and Plato Ate dessert without finishing their potato; So spinach was too spinachy For Leonardo da Vinaci; Well, it's all immaterial, So eat your nice cereal, And if you want to name your ration, First go get a reputation.
