In the realm of research, where ideas take flight,
We search for truth, with all of our might.
But sometimes, dear fellow, we must admit,
That ideas can be flushed down the toilet.
So down the bowl, they swirl and they spin,
Leaving us wondering where to begin.
Do we fish them out, examine each one?
Or just let them go, and call it done?
But wait! What's this? A surprising sight!
Our ideas, they rise, with all of their might!
Floating to the surface, they boldly appear,
Demanding attention, loud and clear.
Accept or reject? That is the test,
Shall we dive in, or let them rest?
Some ideas may be wild, like a comic strip,
While others may elicit a skeptical grip.
But amid the chaos, a gem we may find,
A nugget of brilliance, a rare kind.
So let's not be hasty, let's take our time,
To judge these ideas, in prose or rhyme.
For research, my friend, is a curious thing,
A mix of discovery, and the joy it brings.
So embrace the chaos, embrace the thrill,
For in the toilet, ideas may still.
Accept or reject, the choice is ours,
To uncover knowledge, like a blooming flower.
So let's dive in, with a curious eye,
And see what else may float on by!
I've had a (muffled; I don't want to wake the neighbors.) laugh at this: 'So let's dive in, with a curious eye, And see what else may float on by! ' bri : )
A special Bri Edwards note to all: 'I'd fight to my death IF I thought PH might allow here 10 STARS, but it seems unlikely they'd let me to go THAT far. So I give this 5 stars only. : (
In the future I may return and send this poem to my 'favorites'. At least a Notification to that effect might send more readers to this nearly-fabulous poem from Asim. ;) bri
Well, yes…"embrace the chaos, embrace the thrill"…"uncover knowledge, like a blooming flower"…"So let's dive in"? ? ? You sure? It's still a toilet! I suggest you "fish them out" especially if you are still at the office. Great poem.
Great SATIRE in your poem, I am sure you are talking about Statistical data and its usage, where data is flushed into software and what comes out is the result in graphical form. TOO Good poem.
Well if the fate of the Research has to past thru the flushing then better I do just watching.
Too good and I will not only add to my Fav but also read it again when I am in sad mood.
Initially I thought you are sharing your experience of research work, I was laughing all the way and then I saw your Poet's note Oh, I realised that it was based on a comment by Bri- the poet.
Nicely crafted lines, hope from your research experience.Any idea may be useful in future.

I would like to translate this poem
Asim, 'the researcher', I highly and humbly recommend that you tweak this line; I've the wording to make it even better: 'To uncover knowledge, like a blooming flower.' I'll trade my wording for YOUR ice cream!
