A minor point, but in this context a score is twenty. Being four score and ten
would make you 12 years older than your mother. Or has she spent a lot of

There was a quantum mechanic named Breen
Who had the fastest machine on the scene
He drove fast as light
And with no cops in sight
He'd blueshift the red lights to green
