Need we add that mathematicians themselves are not infallible?

Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics; the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians.

Infallible
'Aidabella',
I have been too long in the rain!
So break down the walls and,
Take my love around to feel the difference.
Infallible truths,
Infallible proofs,
And like a new love;
But i am from the land of phones and,
I have no phone.
A new tomato,
A new potato,
A new creation!
Sow in tears and reap in joy.
Your zeal has stirred up the majority,
But he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly!
And i am here to share my love with you.

Sonnet: Man’s Work Should be blessed by God
Most things we do remain ineffective;
Our human minds are not infallible;
But if it turns to be God’s directive,
Our planning seems to be infallible.
Man falters in most things he tends to do,
Right from the stage of idea onwards;
His foresight fails; new problems emerge too;
The execution fails to move forwards.
Thus, man per se is bad in doing things;
When blessed by God, he tends to do better;
God’s grace is needed every time he sings;
The Scriptures will come true to the letter.
Each creature does what Creator expects;
Man’s freedom of thought/ action God respects.
