IN MEMORY OF EDWARD WILSON, WHO REPENTED OF WHAT WAS IN HIS MIND TO WRITE AFTER SECTION

Rigid Body (sings).

Gin a body meet a body
    Flyin’ through the air,
Gin a body hit a body,
    Will it fly? and where?
Ilka impact has its measure,
    Ne’er a ane hae I,
Yet a’ the lads they measure me,
    Or, at least, they try.

Gin a body meet a body
    Altogether free,
How they travel afterwards
    We do not always see.
Ilka problem has its method
    By analytics high;
For me, I ken na ane o’ them,
    But what the waur am I?
