I first saw this in "Popular Electronics" Magazine about 50 years ago,
when "radar" was still a magic word.  Not too long ago I ran across it
again in an old "QST".  I don't know who wrotem it originally, but it may
have been authored by the submitter, named below:

              The Radar Man With the Micro-mind

       If you should see upon the street
      A man who walks with dipole feet,
      With a train of pips trailing behind
      He's the radar man with a micro-mind.

       With micro-seconds and micro-waves
      And micro-volts he spends his days.
       And we find with passing time
      His brain has shrunk to a micro-mind.

       This man attains with passing years
      Infinite impedance between the ears.
       As he chews his molars oscillate,
      And his heart pumps blood at a video rate.

       Finally he succumbs to a heavy jolt,
      Of what he thinks is a micro-volt.

       The doc looks up from his microscope
      and says to the nurse,
       "Behold this dope, not a brain cell can I find.
       For he's the Radar man with the micro-mind."
