For Old P I Had only begun When he begot P II, For he added the scourge Of Uncle George To this illustrious crew. And then P II For something to do Besides producing paint Produced P III For the Family tree Without a tinge or taint. But Old No. 1 Not to be outdone Though his shot was more of a lob Yet with his last spark He hit the mark And produced young Uncle Bob. For Bob you see Was younger than III But older than George or John. As befits their station The next generation Eagerly started to spawn. To even the score Out of III came IV To add to the teeming hive Imagine the thrill When IV who is Bill Added number V. But sad to say There came a day A day of retribution When our P III Went with PPG And ended his contribution. Left with a busted hip And the ready quip The inevitable came to pass. For the record shows That fertility goes When you're selling a piece of glass. 2
