Dear Andrea Rossi,
Matt Robinson wrote a new poem about the E-Cat and the Third Party
Independent Tests. Giuliano Bettini and I made some minor contributions to
this effort. I didn’t want to risk making further changes to it, so here it
is. It was intended to come out before the Independent Report while I
wanted it to come out before Friday 13th. I apologize for any grammatical,
spelling or alignment errors. Enjoy.
Poetic regards. [image: ;)] -JF
_____________________________________________
IN MERCATU VERITAS by Matt Robinson *
Composed with contingency dependent on the positive outcome of a certain
report allegedly being prepared for publication, and a slight nod to T. S.
Eliot’s ‘Macavity’
A word of caution ‘fore you read,
this is based on supposition
That certain tests, we hear complete,
could bolster my position.
I feel that we are getting near
the day the news will break
I’m hoping that it’s positive,
for all our children’s sake.
The Rossi Cat ‘s a mystery cat,
but some have claimed they saw
The undeniable evidence
that truth defies the ‘Law’.
Unmentioned in the media,
by others ‘t is denied
But Rossi says, in all due time,
the people will decide.
The news that’s been kept hidden from
the Wall Street’s opening bell
Is going to be released quite soon,
Confidently, I foretell.
But I wish that they would hurry up
and get the data written
So then I can prepare my home
for my new domestic kitten.
The day is fast approaching when
to all ‘t will be revealed
The book of evidence, held ‘loft,
and publicly unsealed.
Yet once again we’ll hear the cry,
‘A hoax!’-'They all have lied!’
But now’s the time that truth will out,
the people will decide.
So what if Big Financiers plot,
and try to keep it hidden
And Big Science and the media
do whatever they are bidden?
Well, if it’s mass-produced in China,
there’ll be a thousand on each tide
And Rossi says, in all due time,
the people will decide.
Health and Safety staff, and Customs men,
will intercept and frisk her
They’ll scrutinize the paws and ears,
and in between each whisker.
The ones that know, that’s you and I,
will regard this all as fickle
For all that they will find inside
is a small amount of Nickel.
There’ll be Cats in every quarter,
from Beijing to Peru
You’ll even find them purring
in far off Kathmandu.
They’ll heat our homes, desalinate,
and go on to power our flight
And the people will decide for sure,
‘t was Rossi that was right!
And when she’s all fired up and hot,
and the steam begins to flow
‘Tis then that we can stand up proud,
and say ‘We told you so’.
The Rossi cat will shake the world,
all tests have been applied
Released unto each continent,
the market will decide.
At the closing peal of Wall Street’s bell
on that day of great renown
The Bulls and Bears will pull their hair,
their world turned upside down.
The Cat becomes a Lion, and
she’ll stalk the world with pride
It won’t have taken very long
for the people to decide.
We’ll owe him a great indebtitude,
his name will be revered
Long after all detractors and
the snakes have disappeared.
Our children will be born into
a future warm and bright
The mystery? It’s history,
the E-Cat works, alrrrrright!
We’re telling you that times have changed,
the future’s in our hands-
The wheel has turned full circle,
the past buried in the sands.
Empires have all come and gone,
that’s plain to one who thinks
Tomorrow has a bright new dawn-
all thanks to Rossi’s ‘Sphinx’.
