RE: Spending too much time on the flow can lead to this

and lets not forget that old Boston favorite sung whenever a pint  of Guiness is
lifted and Howard is in our presence:
(sung to the tune "(Where the blarney roses grow")
								  "Ode to a
Howard"

There is a Doctor that hails from  Bean Town 

 Howard Shapiro is his	name 

Whose  wit  and wisdom of cytometry 

is his rightful  claim to fame


Pen and prose  has been bound  to paper 

Practical Cytometry is it's name

Resource to some, bible to many

Who  play the flow game


A fourth edition  hard covered tome

Can be found across the globe

Well thumbed pages have found many a home

In labs from Johannesburg to Nome


Many a times he has circled the earth

With guitar and verse in hand

Singing  the truths of cytometry

Amongst scholars of many a land


His captivating and well planned lectures

Are always the hit of the show

Cutting edge pearls of wisdom

 Keep forever our minds a glow


 A true  believer in laser beams, 

Optics, wires and such

High tech tools to cure us all 

Of diseases that hurt us all so much


Doctor first, Scientist too, 

gadgeteer galore

Howard you have helped shape cytometry

 for now and evermore!

So let us raise a glass  and Hip a hooray

To this  wild and crazy guy 

Many Congratulations Howard

May your life be forever spry!

John F. Daley
