To the tune of “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh!”
(with apologies to Allan Sherman)
Hello Muddah… hello Fadduh,
Here I am at… Midwest Power.
Illinois is… entertaining
and they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining.
There are Boy Scouts… selling food here
And they’re having… quite a good year
I’ve been told the… food’s improving
’cause the little black things in it are not moving.
All the RSO’s… have gone home sick
And the field is… full of wood ticks.
The away cell… has a scale SCUD
But we can’t get there due to all the mud
Jason’s motor… short an O ring
And it CATO’d… some White Lightning.
Gus is launching… later tonight
Some V-Max duct taped to a big flashlight.
We’re all hiding… in Tim’s trailer
From another… “Carbon Failure”
The rain is pouring… the wind is steady
And Manny’s rocket soon will be confetti
(Chorus)
Take me home, oh Muddah Fadduh, take me home, from Midwest Power
Don't leave me out in the field where I might get hit by falling debris.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise or mess the house with
other boys, oh please don't make me stay, I've been here one whole day.
Kari Byron… from Myth Busters
Wanted footage… launching clusters
The Adam Savage… bobblehead
On nineteen skidmarks, all with cooperheads
In a drag race… with the Wildman
Eric cheated… because he can
Make his own brand… of rocket fuels
Which wasn’t clearly spelled out in the rules
Jackson’s charges… getting louder
Twenty grams… 4F black powder
Ben has left one… high in a tree
And Kevin finally got his level three
Wait a minute… it stopped hailing,
Rockets flying… smoke is trailing.
Guys are prepping, gee that's better,
Muddah Fadduh kindly disregard this letter.
*bounce*
