As our history books will tell
Was first-rate at engineering
Which improved long-distance hearing!

Back to congratulate you (again, I see!) for your 'inventive' clerihew. A little science trivia: did you know the decibel was named for him? Well done, my friend.

I figured now that we are science buddies, you would want to know *wink, wink*. I so appreciate your poetry friendship, Wendy. Enjoy your weekend ~ John

Thank you for getting in touch, John, and also for sharing that interesting fact which I hadn't linked to him.
