Left to you by fine intentions;
Of the Baby Boomers time:
Who left what for you - in rhyme.

Robert Jarvac for a start;
Built an artificial heart!
Then a staple gun you know;
So surgeons wouldnt have to sew!

Ajay Bhatt at Intel;
To make peripherals work well;
Built in connectivity;
We call his port a USB!

It had to balance on its own;
Using feet to steer alone!
Dean Kamen named it Ginger but;
His Segway isn’t used that much.
His best invention, may be this:
Mechanical dialysis.

England’s Alfred Jefferies scored;
While a student at Oxford:
Found DNA a new intent:
To ID crooks by fingerprints!

Boys and girls let us bow;
To Gill Sanders, who avowed;
That greater pleasure be allowed.
Thus, we have Viagra now!

Tim Berners gave us this to love;
That changed the world by linking of;
Text, photos, sound and video:
The World Wide Web was his you know!

Carl Morgans work is clearly seen;
His handy wall-mounted machine;
Can shock the dead and bring them back;
His AED treats heart attacks.

So there you have it; just a few;
We hope weve left you lots to do!
Cause when your kids looks back on you;
You’ll be remembered, as were we;
By what you did with history!
