Paul Otlet - Ghost Light,
Would that have become your awful plight?
More information is ever loading,
How do you keep from over bloating?
Whether in drawers full of cards,
Or computers with drives so hard,
Always and onward, ever more,
Recording is an eternal chore.
Ghost Light went mad, tried to stop evolution,
With a horrible and deadly nuclear solution -
Otlet I’m sure would not see his cards burn,
But, given forever, would frustration have turned
A driven, determined, resourceful man
Into a screaming, gibbering, molten flan?
From trying to record all human knowledge
To eating some sort of inmate porridge?
A train of thought that may seem like a load of poo
Was begun by watching classic Doctor Who
(Though some would argue that McCoy
Was hardly a vintage era of that clever boy)
(Though that has nothing to do with this discussion,
Sorry that was but a tangent’s repercussion).
Needless, though, I'm sure is to say
Paul Otlet would never have gone that way.
