In the spirit of Thanksgiving, a thanks to the readers of this blog:


Thanks to the readers of this blog

For staying with me thus far

(Some of you now probably are

Enjoying turkey and eggnog)


In a month this blog will complete

Three years (a hundred and fifty

Posts). As a milestone that's nifty

I thank the readers for this feat


The book reviews are read the most

I enjoy writing them as well

I think if I can help books sell

Then it was worth writing the posts


The Nobel Prize articles score

Large hits also, and an eclipse

Esp. if I include viewing tips

Attracts a hundred reads or more


Black holes never fail to attract

Readers. It must be gravity

That pulls them. Even naivete

Cannot contradict such a fact


The blog helps me gather my thoughts

On a topic once and for all

And reference them, spring or fall

When required, to connect the dots


Where else to collect acronyms

That sound cool; commemorate

The giants of science; enumerate

Issues according to my whims?


Where else to send the students who

Each need to be told the same things

Without repeating myself? Links

To posts are now sent to each: whoo!


Where else to broadcast to the world

Interesting Stories from Science

Cool experiments; new designs

For theories; div, grad and curl?


So thanks to the readers once more

For their support of this platform

Enjoy the holidays, stay warm

Then join me for year number four!
