Science Fair

Harry brought a hurricane, trapped in a terrarium
Ruth made a working model of a nuclear reactor
There was a cure for the common cold
Someone cloned his little brother and if the truth be told
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s ever seen
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s dreamed of
Bobby built a baseball with an automatic pilot
Terri took a tonic, grew herself a beard
Jill found a way to turn garbage into chocolate
Tommy came to class in a homemade rocket
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s ever seen
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s dreamed of
We thought Elizabeth was absent, she made herself invisible
Bubba tied helium balloons to a lawn chair
Someone called the principal
There was an old red hen that played tic-tac-toe
A robot could beat you at dominoes
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s ever seen
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s dreamed of
Well, my project was called HOW THINGS BURN. They put it in
The back in a dark corner of the room. On a poster, I taped some
Stuff I found around the house, and then next to it, what it looked
Like when it was all burned up, with a brief, descriptive paragraph
Of how bad it smelled while it was burning up. Cat hair smelled
The worst!
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s ever seen
It was the finest, fanciest Science Fair anybody’s dreamed of
