Inventive Scots

Two Scotsman simultaneously saw
A penny lying on the floor
Both made a grab got hold together
Would either man let go? Never!

Each tugged and pulled and cursed the other
‘This penny’s mine let go yer bugger’
They heaved and sweated fit to burst
Each claimed he’d seen the penny first

They tugged all day and through the night
Neither would give up the fight
Now you may think that I'm a liar
But that’s how they invented copper wire
