-|     There once was a thing called a V-2
-|     To pilot which you did not need to-
-|     You just pushed a button,
-|     And it would leave nuttin'
-|     But stiffs and big holes and debris, too.
-|
-|     <refrain:>
-|     Ja, ja, ja, ja!
-|     In Prussia they never eat pussy!
-|     There ain't hardly cats enough,
-|     There's garbage and that's enough,
-|     So waltz me around again, Russky!
-|
-|     There was a young fellow named Crockett,
-|     Who had an affair with a rocket.
-|     If you saw them out there
-|     You'd be tempted to stare,
-|     But if you ain't tried it, don't knock it!
-|
-|     There was a young fellow named Hector,
-|     Who was fond of a launcher-erector.
-|     But the squishes and pops
-|     Of acute pressure drops
-|     Wrecked Hector's hydraulic connector.
-|
-|     There once was a fellow named Moorehead,
-|     Who had an affair with a warhead.
-|     His wife moved away
-|     The very next day-
-|     She *was* always kind of a sorehead.
-|
-|     There was a technician named Urban,
-|     Who had an affair with a turbine.
-|     "It's much nicer," he said,
-|     "Than a woman in bed,
-|     And it's sure as hell cheaper than bourbon!"
-|
-|     There once was a fellow named Slattery
-|     Who was fond of the course-gyro battery.
-|     With that 50-volt shock,
-|     What was left of his cock
-|     Was all slimy and sloppy and spattery.
-|
-|     There was a young fellow named Pope,
-|     Who plugged into an *os*-cillo-*scope*.
-|     The cyclical trace
-|     Of their carnal embrace
-|     Had a damn nearly infinite slope.
-|
-|     There was a young fellow named Yuri,
-|     Fucked the nozzle right up its venturi.
-|     He had woes without cease
-|     From his local police,
-|     And a hell of a time with the jury
-|
-|     There was a young man named McGuire,
-|     Who was fond of the pitch amplifier.
-|     But a number of shorts
-|     Left him covered with warts,
-|     And set half the bedroom on fire.
-|
-|     There once was a fellow named Ritter,
-|     Who slept with a guidance transmitter.
-|     It shriveled his cock,
-|     Which fell off in his sock,
-|     And made him exceedingly bitter.
-|
-|     There once was a fellow named Schroeder,
-|     Who buggered the vane servomotor.
-|     He soon grew a prong
-|     On the end of his schlong,
-|     And hired himself a promoter.
-|
-|     There was a young man from Decatur,
-|     Who slept with a LOX generator.
-|     His balls and his prick
-|     Froze solid read quick,
-|     And his asshole a little bit later.
