With Valentina comes a crowd. She adds
a touch of this, a little touch of that.
A paper, or an interesting chat,
she tells about the places where she was

and of the many people she has met.
She travels all along this world, you know.
If there’s a conference, I’m sure she’ll go.
And so she’s working on her giant net.

The Erdös-number is well known in math:
the distance to a famous scientist.
In CSE this is a useless thing.

I know that you will meet her on your path.
If not, I’m sure you don’t know whom you’ve missed.
Cause she knows everyone and everything.
