The Old Researcher
Song
Article Type: Song From: Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Volume 3, Issue 1.
And it is no nay never, no nay never know more
Will I be a researcher, no never no more
I’ve been a researcher for many a day
And spent all my grants going on trips far away
But now I’ve retired with no money in the bank
And for my presence at Humlog I’ve got Karen to thank.
Chorus
I came over to Finland for a holiday I thought
Suncream, sunglasses and swimmers I’ve brought
But then I met Gyöngyi and she made me feel weak.
Saying: if you want to stay here at the meeting you must speak
Chorus
So I looked on my laptop and found an old talk.
With bullet points and pictures and cartoons that walk
If I gave it some effort I could do so much more.
But then I thought why bother, you’ve heard it all before.
Chorus
We’ve talked of disasters, of relief and of aid
And hope that logistics a difference has made.
And maybe one day another book will appear
So we can all get together and drink some more beer
And it is no nay never, no nay never know more
Will I be a researcher, no never no more
