(Note: adapted to the tune of "The Modern Major General")
I am the very model of a modern astrophysicist
which properly interpreted, refers to an empiricist.
For I am no pencil-pushing theoretical astronomer
and I at least can operate a micro-densitometer.
And lo! It must be emphasized!
My plates are hyper-sensitized!
For I am the very model of a modern astrophysicist,
which, properly interpreted, refers to an empiricist.
