Godel's Theorem or Why I am a scientist There was once a mathematician named Godel who with me while descending into Hell Said with sardonic smile- Rodbell, You should wish for inconsistencies in Life Then you can avoid all Strife Because, with their conspiracy you can establish Laws Provided you hide their intrinsic flaws. Ah, you say, You believe in Consistency above all Therein lies your blessed and defiant strength. Except, my friend, with such stability You can't prove the measure of anything, including length. So, with this axiomatic parable -Godells proof, I have become not a spoof, But a scientist-a kind of Fantasist. In this way I can struggle forever without Afront Struggling but Smiling, Free as a Bird- Aloof For to every problem I confront I can safely say, There is nothing to Proof.
