"Telescopes and bathyscapes and
sonar probes of Scottish lakes,
Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse
explained with abstract phase-space maps,
some x-ray slides, a music score,
Minard's Napoleonic war:
the most exciting new frontier is charting what's already here."
...Which seems a bit lyrical...
Seems to me like it's intended to be sung to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan, "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" (from Pirates of Pinzance). I must admit, however, that at first I was thinking "A few of my favorite things". Modern Major General fits better, tho.
