We’re planning an “All Time Greats” event
Invitations went out in the mail
Responses have started coming in
Here is their tale
Socrates said
There’s no doubt about it
He’ll spend some time
And think about it
Pierre and Marie Curie
Say the event they’re awaiting
And with enthusiasm
They’re radiating
Steve Irwin, it appears
Is going to balk
He said he fears
It is a croc
Shakespeare shared
With us this thought
He can’t decide
Whether to be there or not
Santa Claus said
Time’s of the essence
If he’ll be able
To share his presence
Regarding the invitation
It should be noted
The Hindenburg
Simply exploded
Ichibod Crane
Wrote to say
That he certainly would
Beheaded our way
Houdini told us
He’d commit
He has another event,
But will get out of it
Adam and Eve
Promised to be there
If they can find
Something to wear
Alexander Bell
Has another thing
But if he can get out
He’ll give us a ring
Batman thought
The idea sound
And said he’ll likely
Be hanging around
Steve Jobs liked
The sound of it
And said he’d stop by
For a bit
Sigmund Freud
Is gonna skip
Says he’s gonna
Let this one slip
Archimedes said
That unlike Freud
His thoughts of attending
Truly are buoyed
MacArthur’ll leave
Early we’ve learned
But promised that
He will return
Mandela said
He’d have to see
If there’s any way
He can get free
Newton found the event
More than a whim
Saying it has
Great pull for him
Into his planner
Dewey looked
And said it appears
That he is booked
Carl Sagan thought
The idea dumb
There are billions of reasons
He won’t come
And Oppenheimer
Responding last
Said our event
Sounded like a blast
