lyrics

A fresh faced master of the weather
Dashing back and forth to battle code
Along the Wilderness Road
On a dark Whiteknights cycleway,
Dank wind blowing, in his frizzy hair

He toiled for days and months and years
Assimilating data up in 2U07
Not yet on the stairway to Devon
But under Robert Plant’s supervision
He could fulfil his great commission

Dr Fish, Dr Fish, and his stochastic data
Tweaking those parameters at highest frequency
Dr Fish, Dr Fish, aquatic prognosticator
If your SCM* needs testing he’s your man! Or should that be your Fish?

How was he to know, each cookie crumb would form a CCN**?
Major unexplained corrections
Raining from the dark grey skies
But when he gets the keys to his control machine:
It’ll turn out better when Dr Fish controls the weather!

Dr Fish, Dr Fish, and his stochastic data
Tweaking those parameters at highest frequency
Dr Fish, Dr Fish, aquatic prognosticator
If your SCM needs testing he’s your man, oh-oh, oh-oh

His work it promised us protection
From poorly forecast and extreme convection
But many things they cause deflection
A working life of most extreme complexion
From speaking out he never showed defection, protesting wrongs like vivisection
Baking cookies sweet confection, but deadlines still required attention
A thesis as stubborn as infection, yet still he holds the weather with affection
Struggling for words, the right inflection, drawing on his powers of perception
The examiners met and after some reflection, they passed him with minor corrections

And these are my conclusions!
