Mr. Douglas told us true. He knows why the sky is blue. Why the earth spins round and round, And where the next clue can be found. Ask him, maybe, will he tell you? His radio, those ads will sell you. Peppy song will make you wonder, If the world is going under. Bring him something from the doctor-- Nothing spicy-while he proctors. It may be those fizzy bubbles, Let him help you with your troubles. Megan Frazer Blakemore
About This Quote

Mr. Douglas is the name of a character in the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. He is an alien who lives on planets, and has his own radio station called "Douglas" where he discusses various philosophical issues. He is known to often repeat the phrase "Why does the sky blue?" Mr. Douglas was originally written as a parody of similar advertising jingles, but has since become iconic in its own right, being used as an almost stock joke on the series.
