   Solomon Grundy
   Walked on Monday
   Rode on Tuesday
   Motored Wednesday
   Planed on Thursday
   Rocketed Friday
   Spaceship Saturday
   Time Machine Sunday
   Where is the end for
   Solomon Grundy?

---------------------------------------------

   Probable-Possible, my black hen,
   She lays eggs in the Relative When.
   She doesn't lay eggs in the Positive Now
   Because she's unable to Postulate How. 

   (or in French:)

   Plus-que-Possible, ma poule noire,
   Elle pond ses oefs dans le Quand-Provisoire.
   Elle ne pond point dans une periode sure
   Car l'experience seraite bien trop dure.

   This is the Theory Jack built.
   This is the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory Jack built.
   This is the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
   That thickened the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Chaotic Confusion and Bluff
   That hung on the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
   That thickened the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Cybernetics and Stuff
   That covered Chaotic Confusion and Bluff
   That hung on the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
   That thickened the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the button to Start the Machine
   To make with the Cybernetics and Stuff
   To cover Chaotic Confusion and Bluff
   That hung on the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
   That thickened the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   That saved the Summary
   Based on the Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   That lay in the Theory that Jack built.
   This is the Space Child with Brow Serene
   Who Pushed the Button to Start the Machine
   That made with the Cybernetics and Stuff
   Without Confusion, exposing the Bluff
   That hung on the Turn of a Plausible Phrase
   And, shredding the Erudite Verbal Haze
   Cloaking Constant K
   Wrecked the Summary
   Based on Mummery
   Hiding the Flaw
   And Demolished the Theory that Jack built.
