Old Paradigm may be a
Turkey
On this day of family scenes
and dawn to dusk football
it may be in our genes
to ever have a brawl.
But on this day of gratitude
for everything so swell
let's exchange the platitude
for catchy doggerel.
On this day of thanks sublime
and many a high-heaped serving
let's have another paradigm
because we're so deserving.
The old one's dead and stiff
way past its prime and time.
We'll be much better off IF
we get another paradigm
So here's a Scottish saying
expressing what Kuhn meant
in the form of praying;
may it not be OUR lament.
"May I always be quite right
I pray, O Lord so kind;
for Thou knowest, without a fight,
I will never change MY mind."
Thus have a happy day,
one with all the trimmings,
a pair of stars to guide your way
without a pair of dimmings.
