She told the kind chemist
What could be counted
Wasn't worth knowing
If the soul must be ignored
She shouted it from the back
Of the classroom when he
Was in the middle of a sentence
Amazement preceded muffled laughter
And then a pall descended
And everyone stood still
For a moment staring into space
It was a proud and tactless thing she did
But someone finally had to say it
