Experiment 1933 'Nymph Errant'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Nov 2002

Before you leave these portals
to meet less fortunate mortals,
there's just one final message
I would give to you.
You have all learned reliance
on the sacred teachings of science,
so I hope, through life,
you never will decline
in spite of philistine defiance
to do what all good scientists do.

Experiment,
make it your motto day and night.
Experiment
and it will lead you to the light.
The apple on the top of the tree
is never too high to achieve,
so take an example from Eve,
Experiment.
Be curious,
though interfering friends may frown.
Get furious
at each attempt to hold you down.
If this advice you always employ
the future can offer you infinite joy
and merriment.
Experiment and you'll see...
