written for Burns Night 2012
Loves middle aged d ream
Man of the year in my eyes
Is the one who explores our starry skies
The prof who's always on the box
The dreamy brainy Brian Cox.
He's been all over planet earth
Explaining Physics for all he's worth
In lancastrian vowels and a drawl
this is a prof who does enthral
He's a man who'll rock your socks
The dreamy brainy Brian cox.
From humble Oldham northern town
To Manchester for cap and gown
Life for Brian could only get better
But he turned away from the life of a jet setter
To set his sights on the sky above
For Astro Physics was his love
He left that band that really rocks
The musical youthful Brian Cox
In cern he spends most his days
That hadron collider holds his gaze
As little particles it knocks
For dreamy brainy professor Cox.
To see him live we are booking
For Exoplanets we are looking
In constellations like Orion
All at the behest of sexy Brian
For Women of a certain age
Stargazing is all the rage
Not just Sirius, or a spiral galaxy
But bright Brian on the bbc
Black holes are such a paradox
But not for brainy Brian Cox
He's no Zaphod Beeblebrox
He doesn't prance about in frocks
Hotter than a kitchen full of woks
delicious as a box of chocs
He made science more fun than a barrel load of ewoks
That enterprising
tantalising
awe inspiring
Brian Cox
