Poem

by

R D Skelton

 

Rudolf Diesel was a very clever man

                                           To make a fortune was his plan

                                   An eminent thermal Engineer 

                                            In 1893 his first diesel engine

                                   Though cumbersome, did appear

                                            At that time steam engines neared their sell-by date

                                   Rudolf spurred himself on to innovate

                                            So by 1896 his new engine

                                   Efficient and much slimmer

                                            Stormed the market

                                  And became a winner

                                            Needless to say, he become a millionaire 

                                  Diesel engines - everywhere!!

                                            Just think that when Rudolf

                                  Stood at the quay or side of the street

                                           His diesel idea had the world at his feet

                                          Pause, awhile, you Diesel Mechanics...

                                           Around the nation

                                 Just how greet Rudolf was

                                           With his compressional creation!!
