A poem from those days, by E.Y. Harburg: Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter Worthy of Kubla Khan's Xanadu dome, Plushy and swanky with posh hanky-panky that affluent yankees can really call home. Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter, A push-button palace, fluorescent repose, With electric devices for facing a crisis with frozen fruit-ices and cinema shows. Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a shelter All chromium kitchens and rubber-tile dorms, Whose waterproof portals will echo the chortles of weatherproof mortals in hydrogen storms. What a great come-to-glory emporium! To provide a deluxe moratorium From the nuclear heat, to beguile the elite In a crème de la crème crematorium.
