Poetic Verses
Coincidence
Have you ever thought that some coincidences
That to day have a degree of important significance
Lack of results cause some inventors to show some frustration
Only to realize that the incident brought some fruition
There was time and this seem forever
When they were working trying to harden rubber
The rubber was thrown away in some sort of desperation
It landed on some sulfur and that herald in the era of vulcanization
Remember Perkins who when through lots of trouble
To find and method to of making another color possible
Next day whilst washing his container with alcohol
It contents aniline gave mauve color to be seen by all.
Then there was that biologist Ehrlich
Who a staining method for T.B. was trying to establish
Tried as he might and without any sort of success
On leaving it by accident near heat, that was what was missing from the test.
Perhaps there are many more incidences
That were instrumental in making that difference
I am sure we all had our moments too
But were not brave enough to see then through.
