Answer 1

Answer:

My Uncle Dan’s an inventor, you may think that’s very fine.

You may wish he was your Uncle instead of being mine—

If he wanted he could make a watch that bounces when it drops,

He could make a helicopter out of string and bottle tops

Or any really useful thing you can’t get in the shops.

But Uncle Dan has other ideas:

The bottomless glass for ginger beers,

The toothless saw that’s safe for the tree,

A special word for a spelling bee

(Like Lionocerangoutangadder),

Or the roll-uppable rubber ladder,

The mystery pie that bites when it’s bit—
