No, not the owl. Has anyone ever posted the lyrics to Tom Lehrer's
mid-sixties "Ballad of Werner von Braun," which included:
Gather round while I sing you of Werner von Braun,
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience.
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown,
"Ah, Nazi, shmazi," says Werner von Braun.
...
Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
but some say our attitude should be one of gratitude,
like the widows and criple in old London Town,
who owe their large pentions to Werner von Braun.
