Maxwell

Maxwell’s the sultan of stats
He wears the most of crucial of hats —
Box Jenkins and all
Hold him in thrall —
On his shoulders we place all our pats

In this great cosmological dance
Of NIH research and grants
We query the gods –
What are the odds
That Maxwell has happened by chance?

On this most sublime of occasions
We folks of all sorts of persuasions
We enjoy the elation
The grand celebration
Of Maxwell’s Enlightened Equations

His p-value’s heavenly high
We praise him on up to the sky
With his great mind and heart
May Maxwell soon chart
Rising Heaven on Earth by and by
