Classic Poem

I ' D like to be a scientist
For just a little while;
I 'd search until I found the germ
That makes a human smile.

And when I 'd found it, I would get
A law passed, broad and firm,
Whereby the world should be inoc-
Ulated with that germ.

And when the world was all a smile,
I 'd earn uncounted wealth
By finding one more bacilli—
The Microbe of Good Health!
