April 19th Science

 

April 19^th  Science

 

I should have had a career in science,

But there was I…

Shuffling bits of paper, counting money, and smiling.

 

Science is fascinating.

Selling is not.

Standing behind a counter

In a bank, in a shop.

I could have done better,

But I did not.

 

I wouldn’t have been at

The forefront of technology advances;

Nuclear fusion power, what were the chances?

I would not have discovered the meaning of time

The complexities of loop quantum gravity, fine…

I would not have influenced any control

Over greenhouse gasses and our reliance on coal.

Or I wouldn’t have worked at CERN.

Probably wouldn’t have worked in space technology either

Satellites, hypersonic slingshots?

No; not a lots.

 

But.

I might have worked in a lab.

That would’ve been fab.

Or at a university facility

That would have done brilliantly.

Or on some cutting-edge stuff,

That would’ve been enough.

 

So; what went wrong?

Nothing really, I just went along

With what happened; no regrets…

I ended up taking bets.

Strange how things work out isn’t it?
