Four guys
4 guys
17,000 miles up
Doing stuff most us haven’t gotta clue about
I like what science does
I like what
science does and science gives
Me
You
Us
Humanity
Science and scientific methods
Underpin
inspire
promote and
yield
Nearly everything
Most of us
Find useful
And value
Daily
every minute
Whether it’s the beer or wine to sip as we celebrate our daily life and the foods
that go with it
The communication and information technologies we increasingly rely on and which
sometimes fail us spectacularly
Or our understanding of the animal and plant life
Which sustain us
Physically
Emotionally and
Intellectually
Why
How
Should we support what has given us
Much of what makes our lives
Easier and better
Why try
To understand
To systematically explore and question
To create
Why bother
Why
Why not reawaken a bit of the natural scientist you were when you were a child
Question and look for proof
Don’t rely on or accept here-say and uninformed opinion
Understand deeply
(Be deeply informed)
It’s a fascinating and wondrous world (we are so fortunate to live on)
Science is not that scary
It’s all around us
It’s just about making sense of the world we live in
And improving how we live today
To make a better tomorrow.
Long live the 4 guys
And the tens of thousands of shoulders they stand on.
