"Miss Lucy had some matter.
She didn't know its state.
She only had three choices,
So tried to get it straight.
She thought t could be liquid,
Quite possibly as a gas.
And if it wasn't solid,
Well call me sassafras.
Miss Lucy called the plumber.
Miss Lucy called the cop.
Miss Lucy the egghead
With the perfectly bald top.
"Liquid", said the plumber.
"Solid", said the cop.
"Gas", said the egghead
With the perfectly bald, perfectly bald, perfectly bald
Top top top."
