to find a liquid that displaced
water, and they tried in vain;
formulas that failed again;
thirty-nine attempts were trashed;
But number 40 worked at last!
Water couldn’t penetrate;
It worked on wheels and squeaky gates!
Good old number 40 clicked;
But what to call this icky slick?
This water displacement 40th test?
WD-40 sounded best.
And sure enough, it beat the rest!

You are quite the chemist among fifty other things. And all of this wrapped up in a lovely and kind blonde lady :)
I don/'/t think they build that model anymore. Of course you would know better than I....
Right up a gearheads alley........ Wonderful poem...

I/'/ve heard the story before but not quite like this. You have a way with words.

Thank you,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
