The Curse Of Statistics Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

I say the science of statistics
resembles that of plain ballistics.
A science only by its name
yet a BIG player in the game.
Look at a courtroom, experts hover
each book perused to its back cover.
The judge, his face in poker mode
sits quietly throughout each ode,
it is quite logical that he
will grasp some details, just to be
informed so he can call the shots
between the haves and the have-nots.
The jury, folks like we all know
may yawn throughout the science show,
not one is likely well equipped
as during school they never dipped
their little heads in plain old science
most pupils do prefer defiance.
So tell me, what would be the use
to bring on experts to confuse
the masses and the judge as well?
It's futile friends, and can you tell?
