Part Two--Conclusion

Chapter 4228 wordsPublic domain

N is for Newton, the Gravity King, Whose laws, in our mags, just don't mean a thing.

O's for Ourselves, who read science-fiction We know what we like, and there's no dereliction.

P's for the Princess that's always on hand To wed the brave Earthman who visits her land.

Q is for Quinn, the weird-story writer; If he'd do science fiction his fame might be brighter.

R is for Robot, of whom much is said; For many an author his antics have fed.

S is for Starzl, Schachner, and Sloane; And let's not forget Doc Smith and Miss Stone.

T is for Time, a favorite theme Which never grows stale--or so it would seem.

U is the Unknown, which writers employ Whenever they need some death dealing toy.

V is for Venus, which belonged to one Kline Until Mr. Burroughs took over that line.

W's Wonder, a changeable book; You never can tell how it's going to look.

X means "okay" when written "All X" A term which has brought Doctor Smith many checks.

Y's for the Yarn which will suit everyone; We hardly believe it can ever be done.

Z is for Zagat--whom else could it be? It's lucky for us his name starts with Z!
