Give Me An Underground Laboratory

I guess
I’m just
an old
mad scientist
at bottom.
Give me an
underground
laboratory,
half a dozen
atom-smashers,
and a
beautiful girl
in a
diaphanous veil
waiting
to be turned
into a
chimpanzee,
and I
care not
who writes
the nation’s laws.
--S.J. Perelman (1904--1979)
