[NJARC] The Radar Man

[Bill Zukowski]

Remember this from "Popular Electronics" in the early '60s?

*The Radar Man

If ever you saw upon the street
A man whom walked with dipole feet
With a lagging train of pips behind
He was a radar man with a micromind.

With microseconds and microwaves
And microvolts, he filled his days;
And thus in the course of passing time
His brain had shrunk to a micromind.

His eyes gave out with a neon gleam,
His nose lit up like a radar screen,
His ears worked like an electronic gate,
And his heart pumped blood at a video rate.

This man obtained, in passing years,
Infinite impedance between his ears.
At last he succumbed to heavy jolt
When he probed what he thought was a microvolt.

The Doc looked up from his microscope
And said to the nurse, Behold this dope!
Since of his brain not a trace can I find,
He was a radar man with micromind.*
