Subject: RE: [gislist] Do GIS Professionals Have A "Professional Association?" - A bit of Poetry
Date:  01/09/2004 01:35:00 AM
From:  Leonie Meiring






Profession, Profession. Oh, where does it lie?
Indeed, it is sought, but where to be found?
How can it elude us on a planet so round?
Can it not technically or arithmetically be bound
Between lats&longs, yards and feet.

"There, it is!" one cries. But, alas, again not right!
Opinions, opinions, frustrations, frustrations
Another warns: "We dare not settle this without a fight!"
"Frankly my dear, I do not give a damn
as long as you do not plague me with your illustrious spam!"

The geographical world is aflutter, with the same question it seems
As its spatial information systems locomotive laboriously steams.
Where doth the answer lie, I cannot truthfully say,
as unfortunately it appears,
I am certifiably stumped!


PS Busy, busy as always, but when inspiration dawns, one cannot let it
slip by!!
