Because he had prepared to learn,
A desire for discovery inside did burn.
Pasteur, a renowned French Biologist,
A chemist turned pathologist.

Diseases prevented because of Louis Pasteur.
His progress fights against the bacteria war.
While rabies once had no cure,
Its neural assault, the bitten forced to endure.

Pasteur opened his intellectual thought.
He learned, experimented, and he taught.
With his mind always learning and astute,
He directed the Pasteur institute.

His Germ theory made great waves,
And think of all the lives it saves.
The simple process of sterilization,
Teaching about germs and causation.

Think about how wine did sour.
Microbes multiplying by the hour.
All you have to do is add some heat,
Which makes bacteria almost obsolete.
Chance Favors the Prepared Mind
We learn to stay sharp by Pasteur’s example.
Keep on educating your hippocampal.
Always be prepared to learn something new.
Then inspiration will come to you.
Then inspiration will come to you.
