Since the day and the hour he first took the pledge,
An unquenchable thirst for imbibing knowledge
Has assailed Mr Eccles, named after the cake,
Though it's hard to believe when his first name is Jake.

This relentless pursuit of the truth, right or wrong,
He has doggedly stuck to in story and song,
And if truth's to be found in a poem or play,
He maintains that he'll finally find it one day.
