T'was understood the missing link To take away the galling tax Was found behind the kitchen sink Where whimsy met with ceiling wax T'was there the jawbone of an ass Was waved about with great aplomb To please the mighty silent mass And show that history was a bomb Pernickety has made the grade The asses jawbone was refined And dug up with a silver spade By this the ancients were defined The galling rhyme has held through time So none escaped its craven cast For in the moat the time of bloat Has rediscovered hidden past The missing link tis found, tis found Screamed archaeologists en masse And wherever truth is bound There'll be a jawbone of an ass Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.
