The mad scientist created
Freeze rays and said, “This is the best,
I dare anyone to beat me.
I’ll freeze banks and avoid arrest,
Then freeze folks at the city hall
To cause the government to fall.
Yessir, I’m gonna have a ball,
With my freeze ray and my money.
This poem was pooped out of somewhere for the Terrible Poetry Contest #55, “Big Rock Candy Mountain.” In order to do this, I had to read up on the song and found out it was supposed to be about Hobo Paradise. I wrote about Mad Science Paradise.
I chose this photo because all the science done in the 50’s and 60’s was mad science because they didn’t really care if they died from some insane exposure to chemicals or whatever.

Sounds like he had all the right intentions…..
Money and power. Yup, that about sums up everything you could want.
Besides love, I guess, but scientists often just wank to numbers.
Fun mad-scientist poem!
Boo-Hoo, a Terrible Poem! 🙂
So bad! We’ll see where this goes. 🙂

I know you were going for 50s and 60s scientists, but your “freeze ray” made me think of “Despicable Me…”
I was thinking of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”
Ah! Should’ve seen that!
