You little thingamajig
with your single anode
arcing across space
to the mercury-pool cathode
Did you think
you could rectify power?
Oh, you did.
Well, I never liked electronics
neither you Radio Shack geeks
nor Professor Sez, so
In lab I would whisper
to my classmates
'ignore Amos Sez.'
And he would always laugh
tell me some day
I would understand
what an ignitron I was.
