Torrents of bits stream pass,
a never ending flow;
Data promenading past:
spinning off disk platters,
dancing through RAM.

'I need intelligence!' shouts a voice.
'Actionable information!' demands another.

Awoke from reverie I begin,
pandas and numpy fly from my hands,
slicing,
transposing,
sorting,
calculating.

'It's science!' I cry,
see this P,
this r-squared?

Alas, 
confounded stares.
'It's science,' I mumble
and quietly despair.
