R. G. Bell - Elizabeth

Recorded somewhere’s something like this,
“A scientist is one who knows
Nearly all of nearly nothing.
A salesman is one who knows
Nearly nothing of nearly all.”

Elizabeth’s a scientist
Of history and prophecy.
She knows, with knowledge most complexed,
All that the doctor said last week
And all she fears he might say next.

R. G. Bell
