[hometext] => You wonder what keeps some people trying..
[bodytext] => San Diego had a race;
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...
