But Bell eventually emerged victorious
His persistence being notorious.
Samuel Pepys
frequently ate haggis with tatties and neeps
Which explains why his physique was anything but wiry

Robinson Crusoe
Read the works of Rousseau
Strangely Robinson's surname ended in the same two letters as that of his creator, Daniel Defoe
Whose greatest work, namely Robinson Crusoe, was the only permitted reading up to the age of twelve for the eponymous Emile in what is considered to be the first bildungsroman, concidentally written by Rousseau.
Robin Hood
Sure would
Belittle John and fry a duck
That he stole from the rich, in order to give it to those with less luck
Daffy Duck
Was never one for offending others with rhyme for the sake of a cheap laugh, as in his own words, "that would thuck"
Whereas the late lamented James Hunt
Has been replaced in rhyming slang by James Blunt
Neil Young
