He was never
addressed by his actual name
As a
scientist he gained much name and fame
Exploring
secrets with keen scientific ease
And yet he
spared some time his friends to please
Nicknamed as happy Sam he
ever beamed
With friendly
smile and sad he never seemed
Himself as a
great scientist he never thought
In helping
others immense pleasure he sought
While on duty
he worked with sincere mind
Showing
attention, nothing he left behind;
He used his
time aptly though lazy he seems
He wrote so
many books on scientific themes
All gaped in
wonder at his writing skills
What angel
his brain with such matter fills!
To gladden his
mates he did quickly include
Their names
acknowledging gratitude;
About
marriage matter he never thought
He spent all time in his dear lab a lot;
In twilight
hour a different man indeed
To play with
friends to club did he proceed
With jovial
words a merry time he spent
To please
his dear friends he lavishly spent;
Sometimes he made too many promises tall
And vanished
like swift wind beyond their call
He never
seemed to stay at one place at all
Like air he
moved swift like a rolling ball;
Making use of
his easy temper mild
An easy
target -- they took him for a ride;
They praised his charities up to the
sky
They cheated him often, but he did not sigh;
Borrowing much, they drained his
earnings all
Poor Sam
pledged his belongings all;
In drinking
bouts he entertained them still
His greedy
mates made him pay all their bill;
( I I )
While once
engaged in his research profound
He saw a
lady talking with a feeble sound
A scientist
too she was with a limping gait
Burdened
with debts, in a pitiable state;
Our liberal scientist came to her rescue
He cleared
all debts, long -pending dues;
As a
research assistant helped that lass
On scientific
themes, much time did they pass;
His easy-going nature impressed her a
lot
Her humble
helping hands impressed his heart;
Happy Sam called his chums with wide-stretched hands
No secret hid;
with swelling zeal did he expand
About his
love and gave a party grand
Pouring all
his savings exceeding the limits
Surprised the bride with gifts
beyond her wits.
( I I I )
Happy Sam
never gave up his friendly team
Once a week
he went there with a friendly gleam
He
penned science books along with his mate
And
did research till his retirement date;
Age
did not dim his love for technical skills
In
his private lab research did he still
Along with his spouse he gave lectures
fine
Inspiring youth to expand their mental
domain;
Like a
pair of swans floating on milky seas
Both
found delight in science with harmonious ease;
He
prided not in wealth or in his name and fame
No
high recognition or honor did he claim
To
live like a man with a sympathetic heart
To
make others happy he always sought
Happy Sam still visits his haven to meet
His oldest chums and enjoy their company
sweet.
