    Nothing is not, said he,
    The absence of anything.
    Why so?, said she.
    Because, said he,
    Recall Aristotle?
    Well no, said she.
    It's so subtle, said he.
    There are two varieties
    Of empty cells, you see,
    Empty of necessity
    And empty accidentally, said he.
    Uh?, said she,
    I don't get it.
    It's Nothing, said he,
    Forget it.

    World of chaos
    How can I find truth in here?
    Stats gives life order.

    Reality bites
    Whipping data into shape
    Statistics bites back

    Is it you, or me?
    Your hopes, my size - both too big
    Love, your p-value

    The stats prof thought that he was drinking Guinness just like Gosset did
    but it turned out to be Poisson liquid.

    When his students heard they became Hypergeometric
    and rather non-parametric.
    They couldn't believe that it was true,
    but the old professor managed to pull through!

    "So they made a type-I error," said he,
    and they all ate a dinner of Tukey and gravy.
