“Toast Rack! -Lord Arthur Rack, of whom to boast
Is mere due. Let all praise him, coast to coast!
For we owe him so much;
What other man can touch
His greatness? So I say to you: Rack, toast!”
“Free energy from fusion: what a whizz!
The key to that discovery was his.
The deserts, irrigated;
Pure water now filtrated;
Clean airships, elevated: all Rack’s biz!”
“To Arthur Rack, I bid you, raise your drink!
Our debt to him is clear to all who think:
He’s brought the world such wealth!
Let’s also drink the health
Of his dear widow Lil – still in the pink!”
[I acknowledge my debt of inspiration to band The Scaffold.]
