An astrophysicist's poetic act of revenge in 1984

From Maria Popova's fantastic 'Brain Pickings': 

A Vintage Scientific Paper Published as a 38-Stanza Poem:

...Reader Julia Deneva, a Cornell astronomer and fellow Bulgarian, alerts me to The Detection of Shocked Co/ Emission from G333.6-0.2 by New South Wales physicist J. W. V. Storey, a paper published as a 38-stanza poem, appeared in The Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of Australia in 1984. It was as much an act of creativity as it was one of vengeance. Deneva writes:

"The unfortunate astronomer who got scheduled last at the annual meeting of said society decided to take revenge and gave his talk in verse — and later submitted it for publication."

The first few stanzas:

I wrote my abstract, sent it in,

With words that don’t offend.

Imagine my horror to find that I

Am scheduled at the end.

Let me say, to be last speaker,

There are very few things worse.

And so this talk, to get revenge,

Will be entirely in verse.

The subject I address today

Is that of star formation.

And what we’ve found out recently

About the situation.

Stars start out as clouds of gas and

Dust and bits of spinning stuff.

Collapsing gravitationally

Until they’re dense enough. 

They form themselves in little lumps,

(Or so says this bloke Jeans).

‘Dynamic Instabilities’

Whatever that term means.
