But of all the jobs that humans have HOW GREAT THE SCIENTIST!

Around the world they cooperate,
Joined, working to investigate,
New tools and processes to create,
Medicines and cures to generate,
Climate change to remediate,

All human life to ameliorate,
Using only the Power of Science inside.

Each step of the way they recognize
They may be wrong as they theorize,
So data and logic they prioritize,
Every option they scrutinize,

Until verifiable answers they realize,
Working together in scientific harmony
Building a Better Life for You and for Me

Doctors have also helped us achieve,

Ethical rules for people to heed,
Founded in human equality,*
Shared scientific ability,*
And the natural right for all to be free*
DO NO HARM & HELP THOSE IN NEED

Science has a Moral Creed!
Placing infinite value in you and in me!

Almost every single job uses Science to test,
To ask and to learn how each can do their best,
Engineers, farmers, and most teachers do
Mechanics, musicians and great bakers, too!
