Push the button,

Pull the lever,

Never have we been so clever.

Push our luck,

Pull the trigger,

Getting closer to something bigger.

Push the envelope,

Pull the string,

Such a great fortune it could bring.

Push the brakes,

Pull the plug,

No climbing out of this hole we've dug.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
