Decoded:
Robert E, A Mystery
All hail to Robert E,
father of a son or three,
master of the arc cosine,
descendant of a kingly line.
Sailor on a ship o’ tars,
Smoker of the worst cigars,
Master of a simple code,
Target of this wretched ode.
Teacher, builder, bearer of yokes,
Teller of the same old jokes,
Strolling, bearded, laughing free,
That’s the grandpa Robert E.
