From a beer-drenched London street to the simple joy of a flying disc and finally to the click of a mouse that bought "Ten Summoner’s Tales," history, it seems, prefers its tales served with a side of whimsical. And we have a rhyme to match.
In London's streets, the beer did flow,
A flood of ale from long ago.
The vats did burst, the town did weep,
In hops and barley drowned so deep.
Then Yale, where pie tins took to flight,
Became the Frisbee's birthright.
A simple toss, a joyful cheer,
From tin to disc, the path was clear.
Online, a transaction bold,
Dan Kohn's CD of Sting was sold.
Through NetMarket's digital door,
A new era began to soar.
