On JEM




Jerry is singular in manifold ways---
his papers display each excitable phase---
   space-time, falling cats,
   geodesics, strange (h)att...s---

(Their reading might take all the rest of our days)

   solid, fluid, and cloud ...
   O let us sing loud
   bundles of praise! Just
   one cautionary note:

Students, postdocs, colleagues, take care!
A `Jerry Remark' could consume your career.
