COSMONOUGHT
=================
The Mystery of The Universe,
Has long vexed L'l Ol' Me;
Was it all Created,
Just so that I could be?

With Acres of Redundancy,
And Eons too, of Time;
A Protoplasmic Biped,
On Planet Earth, Right Clime!

They say that in Beginning,
There was an Awful Bang;
Was it by Lone Bomber,
Or Theologic Gang?

Either way, the End will come,
As Entropy sets in;
Unless The Godly Watchmaker,
Again rewinds the Spring.

Then once more the Whole Process,
Of  Nature, Tooth and Claw,
Will culminate in Marvellous Me,
To avoid God's Dom of Bore.

So, with Big Bang and Gravity,
Heavenly Void and Stellar Hell,
The Entropy will get me -
If not the Padded Cell.

================
(I whizzed across the Universe,
With the Speed of Light,
And almost toppled off the Edge,
Which gave me quite a fright.

So, then I whizzed right back again,
By driving in reverse;
But folk said I never moved at all -
Warp speed's that type of curse.)

========================
