Happy Birthday!

Edmond Halley

b11/8/1656 (d1/14/1742)

The 1st to calculate the orbit of
the comet later named after him.

It came from the East just as bright as a torch
The neighbors had a party on their porch
Daddy rocked the baby, Mother said "Amen"
When Halley came to visit in 1910.

     "Halley's Comet," Mary-Chapin Carpenter.
     DT filename HALLEYCT.

I've no reason to suspect anyone else ever sang this song, though.
