Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIHI JKJKHDHD| Of all the men I ever knew | A |
| The tinkingest was Uncle Jim | B |
| If there were any chores to do | A |
| We couldn't figure much on him | B |
| He'd have a thinking job on hand | C |
| And on the rocking chair he'd sit | D |
| And think and think to beat the band | C |
| And snap his galusus and spit | D |

| We kids regarded him with awe | E |
| His beard browned by tobacco stains | F |
| His hayseed had of faded straw | G |
| The covered such a bunch of brains | F |
| When some big problem claimed his mind | H |
| He'd wrestle with it for a fall | I |
| But some solution he would find | H |
| To be on hand for supper call | I |

| A mute inglorious Einstein he | J |
| A rocking chair philosopher | K |
| I often wondered what maybe | J |
| His mighty meditations were | K |
| No weighty work he left behind | H |
| No words of wisdom or of wit | D |
| Yet how I see him in my mind | H |
| Snap on his galusus and spit | D |
