Meet to talk over tea and mist
One squat and round as a boxer's fist
One taller and thinner than should exist
One refuses a biscuit though the other insists
They meet to write their lengthy lists
Of which things pass and which persist
Which theories fruit from scientists
Which are born easy and which resist
They argue over details missed
And lift their drinks with weary wrists
Every day they meet like this
The ancient and the futurist
