He had startling genius but somehow 1t Always on the evolution of things that
 wouldn't evolve; Always verging toward some climax, but he
 never reached the verge; Always nearing the solution of some theme
 he could not solve. And he found perpetual motion, but 6 cog
 wheel set avry Burst his complex apparatus and he could not And he made a life elixir-if you drank you'd
 never die But the druggist spoilt the compound when
 the medicine was mixed. And he made flying vessel that would navi.
 gate the air, A gorgeous steamer of the heavens, a grand
 aerial boat, A matchless paragon of skill. a thing beyond And the only trouble with it-he could never
 make 1t float. And he found potent acid that would change
 red dirt to gold; But the tube from which he poured 1t had
 some trouble with lt's squirt, So the gold held in solution and would not let
 go it's hold, And the dirt in dogged stubbornness it still
 continued drt. And he made great catholican to cure all dis
 ease, A general panacea for every ache and pain. But first he tried it on himself his stomach

 not try again. - Yankee Blade.
