Amateur was a major omission, yeah. I don't think 'helps most/post' really works because it diverges too much. 'Done' is hard to rhyme with, but checking a rhyming dictionary, I realized there was a perfect rhyme: 'fun'. As in, 'And the Science was fun / and you make a neat post'. The rhythms scan, the rhyme is perfect, and it makes sense by reinforcing 'neat'.
