Synergy

Cambridge academics know
surprisingly
little of
synergy:
They took the mathematical bridge apart
trying to work out how it held together with no bolts
and they couldn't put the thing back together again...
So the bolts had to go in
to keep the tourist attraction up -
just -
and to keep it visible
to the miserable punt chauffeurs
tempting Japanese cameramen on Magdalene Bridge
with a watery odyssey
under the weary dons
at the windowed
Bridge
of
Sighs.....
You'd think they'd be able to sort out everything
after boasting of Newton
and his light refraction tests at Trinity
and the other fellas
splitting the at- om
in Cavendish labs,
but no...
you see,
they thought they knew the principle of
synergy
off the top of their brilliant heads
so they,
er,
drew lots of multi-dimensional plans
reckoning they knew
how the original engineers did it
and
how the wooden sticks
when balanced together
could
cross
the Cam
and take the weight
of a gaggle of drunkards
galloping over on Suicide Sunday
to celebrate exams
but when it came to taking it all apart
by hand
to study its dynamics
.
.
.
?
they lost the secret of the synergy
that was either built on serendipity
or an educated guess.
So the moral of the tale is to keep the phenomenon,
marvel at it, use it as a means of transport too,
but if you wonder how it works
Just smile and let it carry you where it takes you,
and don't get itchy fingers to tinker with the machinery,
because those bolt-on jobs are never the same.

or failing that, Sir Richard Dawkins
and tell them synergy aplenty's
in the cyberdocument- ee
of the Pearl Jam Message Pit.
But if they say I'm full of shit
at least I tried.
wid dem meddy evil buttress
flyin' things dey got on churches
Jus' in case one fukka lurches?
