ALL THE MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY ~
HAVE ORIGINATED IN THE MINDS OF SCIENTISTS & THEN ~
BEEN DEVELOPED IN LABORATORIES ~ AMEN !
I LOVE LABORATORIES ~ And I am .......
Never more pleased ~ than working in a LAB !
LADIES in White Coats ~ not coming to take me
Away ! But busy with Petri Dishes
Busy ~ sub-culturing Pathogenic and
Other deadly organisms !
Real hive of activity ~ looking for ........
A Cure for Cancer ! Dangerous places
To spend ones day in ! Fire ~ Explosions
Often ~ and ingestion of CHEMICALS .......
Really so deadly ! I am often asked
If I know any OLD SCIENTISTS ~ NO !
Early demise is our lot ! We all live .......
So dangerously ~ but so near to HEAVEN !
This POEM is presented as a BLANK VERSE 2 - 12 Acrostic Sonnet !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN 💙💙💙
You have to appreciate that many Pioneering Scientists & Technologists
have suffered severe accidents and death in the course of their Practical
work. Both Marie & Pierre Curie died from Radiation Sickness !
Working in LABS ~ especially School Labs ~ should be made as
SAFE as POSSIBLE ~ without taking all the thrills & spills out of
Practical Science. I started working in Proper Labs when I was 10
at GRAMMAR SCHOOL and I was HOOKED. Ive has the odd accident
but Im still alive and Angela thinks Im still Good Looking & virile !
At College I have installed a state of the Art ~ Microbiology Lab
for the Catering & Beauty Therapy Students and especially for the
students on the New Pathology Lab Technicians Course. We have
Appointed a Lecturer in Microbiology and a Technician and it has
now run very successfully and *accident free* for one year ~ AMEN !
