E is equal to mc squared –
or so the laws of physics have declared.
But these laws I will now defy,
as I have in my boredom thus been dared.

Einstein was a pretty smart guy…
but I believe he set his sights too high.
He said he knew all about E.
He didn’t know half as much as do I:

In the alphabet, it follows D.
It’s for "elephant," coloring books told me.
And who can argue that today
was brought to you by the letter E?

Such is the error of Einstein’s way,
I’ll reinstate it for you, if I may,
E is more than mc squared!
And that’s the physics lesson for today.
