Having Fun

Having FunBy Christopher CooperLet's us all have some funEven people who shouldn't be hereLike Robert Tolten Folton.His name just rolls off your tongueJust like an old piece of chewing gum.His mother had so much fun at birthShe decided to give to her sonA name that would give him so much fameHe'd be looking for someone to blame.Robert didn't like his mother.Why couldn't she give himA name like the others?People who would tease himCould never please himCausing him pain when they said his name.Why would they make fun Of someone so young?Robert planned his revengeThat ended up taking in all of man.He would make a shipFaster than any thing on land.Now someone decided to top that by building a trainAnd someone decided to top that by building a planeAnd someone decided to top that by building a rocketAnd someone decided to top that with a nuclear rocketAnd now we are going so fast.That no one has time to look at the pastAnd no one has time to ask.Is Tolten really Folten's middle name?
