A party invitation just was
Sent to famous greats
A lot of them are coming
The news we all await
Newton said that he’d drop in
But Pavlov simply drooled
Ohm resisted heartily
While Kelvin went and cooled
Samuel Morse dashed off a note
Expressing just one thought
He’d be there very timely, yes
In fact, right on the dot
Darwin said he’d be there if
His schedule got resolved
Until that happens, he will wait
And see how things evolve
Volta said he wouldn’t come
But some think that he lied
Cuz we heard heard his view on parties is
Quite electrified
Edison’s acting negative
About it, what a schlup!
If he comes to the party
We hope he lightens up
Einstein wrote back quickly with
An answer short and cheesy
He said for him attendance
Would be relatively easy
The invisible man will not be there
His response was rather numbing
He snottily declared no way
That he could see himself coming
Dr. Jekyll said the time
Is bad for him that date
And also, he really hasn’t felt
Much like himself of late
Heisenberg is uncertain if
He has the time to spare
And Hamlet wasn’t clear if he
Would be or not be there
James Watt declared the party’d be
Like something in a dream
And he’s been looking for a way
To just left off some steam
A message now has come that says
The brothers known as Wright
Will be there if the two of them
Can find themselves a flight
Van Gogh will likely not be there
There’s no way he’ll commit
In fact, when asked if he would come
He wouldn’t ‘ear of it
Audubon has commitments then
But hopes that he can swing it
Until then, it’s up in the air
Perhaps he’ll have to wing it
Gene Roddenberry’s far away,
But wrote back, “What the heck?”
“I’ll do whatever I can do”
“To undertake the Trek”
Jonas Salk will try his best
He’d like to come a lot
He’ll plan his schedule carefully
To give it the best shot
There’s hope that Calvin Klein will come
Oh wouldn’t that be great?
But just like him, he’ll probably be
Quite fashionably late
Henry the eighth will be there and
Deep down inside, we knew it
Because he told his friends that he
Would soon be heading to it
Tarzan said he’s busy
He’ll give it the college try
And if his schedule lets him
He’s happy to swing by
Eli Whitney’s gonna come
And that’s a big win-win
Because he’ll bring refreshments
Most likely ’twill be gin
Schrödinger cannot decide
His plans we do not know
Confusingly he told me that
He may and may not go
Steinway RSVPed to say
That he would really love it
To help remember, he said that he
Would make a note of it
The Maytag Repairman’s almost for sure
Unless there’s a fly in the ointment
That likely won’t be a problem cuz
He never has appointments
Jesse James was iffy
In the long note that he penned
He said if he’s held up somewhere
He won’t be able to attend
Ishmael’s excited
Expects it to be sublime
He’s really looking forward to
A whale of a good time
Amelia Earhart won’t be there
The problem’s not the cost
It seems each time she goes somewhere
She ends up getting lost
Copernicus would enjoy it
But the chances are rather slim
He’s not the best of guests because
The world revolves around him
It seems Godot may not be here
Upon this happy occasion
The last we heard from him, he said
He was waiting on the invitation
The thought that Niels will be there
Is enough to make one snore
The issue’s when he opens his mouth
He really is a Bohr
Now Madame Curie will attend
We’re sure she’ll look quite clever
And probably be like always
As radiant as ever
Helen Keller isn’t sure
She’d like to very much
And when she has an answer
She said she’d be in touch
Ms Antoinette’s conditional
It’s weird, for goodness sake
She says that she will be there
But only if there’s cake
Coulomb had a question
For him it loomed quite large
He needs to know before he comes
If there will be a charge
Mickey Mouse’s refusal
Has left us rather numb
He says he’s feeling goofy
And so he cannot come
Geiger’s all excited
The prospect has him humming
He wrote to tell us that we should
Count on him a coming
Tiger Woods sends his regrets
That he cannot arrive
The problem was he said it was
Too far for him to drive
Hamlet had a question
He wrote for all to see
Asking if the address was
2B or not 2B
Beethoven too was iffy
He needs to know some more
He said it’s only possible
If he is able to score
Ferris Bueller’s affirmative
For enjoying party quaff
He said no prob in coming
Because it’s his day off
Lincoln said he might be late
His travel is a stress
He’s coming in from Gettysburg
And needs to have the address
Stephen Hawking responded
To say as we begin
We’ll see him once again that day
When he comes rolling in
And Noah’s another iffy one
His secretary explains
She says he’ll come if it is nice
But not with heavy rains
And famous QB Tom Brady said
He’d not be there, alas
He’s prepping for the season and
Will simply have to pass
