Student Created Video: A History of the World in Six Glasses (a rap)
"We got the history of the world, all in six glasses
Mysteries to be unfurled in liquids, not gasses
My man Tommy Stan, some call him Tom Standage
He's got a plan, he knows how to manage
The history of the world, in these glasses six
Don't be amazed, what these glasses depict"
