Songs: That's Not Empirical

notes / gigs / releases

That's not empirical
I made it up myself
It's not reproducible
By anybody else
It's not based on experiment
Or any kind of evidence
So it's not empirical
At all

That’s not empirical
How could it ever be?
I'm only picking things that are
Of interest to me
Opinions of what's canon
Will never be agreed
So it's not empirical
At all

Also, these are atypical
If we just choose the best
A comic that stands out like that
Is unlike all the rest
We want to do analysis
Of what Doc Doom as normal is
So that's not empirical
At all

The first of several versions of this song which appear in Data and Doctor Doom, trying to grapple with Empiricism. It was quite exciting to write this first version, with it's rapid-fire RHYMING, but I made myself a bit of a rod for my own back with it as I had to STICK to the same SCHEME for all the others!
