Why’s there
something, friend, rather than nothing?
Occur answers heard proffered by priest,
by philosopher
or pseudo-science guy?
Metaphysical inquiry: ceased?
Hold your
horse! Grab a gander at Google!
Key in
“N…O…T…H…I…N…G”!
Then type, one
at a time, ev’ry alphabet letter.
'Tis nothing but nothings you’ll see.
There is nothing At (all). There is nothing But (net).
There is "Nothing Compares (2 U)" -- lest you forget.
“Nothing
Doing,” warns Duke,* “till you hear it from me.”
There’s
Metallica’s "Nothing Else (Matters)" -- in E.
* Composer Ellington
Nothing Fancy...that’s free. “Nothing Gold (stays…)." That’s Frost.*
“Nothing’s
Holding (Me Back)." That's a ringtone as well.
“It’s a show
about nothing," Insists George Costanza.
There’s Nothing, Janne (Teller’s tome). How
did that sell?
* Poet Robert
There is "Nothing Kumpares ((ouch!) 2 U)." That’s Sinead.*
There is Nothing
Lasts (longer than ____). Post your best pun.
So: what’s up? Nothing Much. Nothing Matters (as such).
(Nor there’s nothing (nope: nothing!) New (under the sun).
* Singer O'Connor
There’s “She’s Got Nothing On (But the Radio)."
There’s the
film “Nothing Personal,” too:
Ebert* notes,
“There is nothing Quite (like it: thumbs up!”)
Nothing Runs (like a Deere, either…nu?)
* Critic Roger
“Nothing
Suit (like a suit)," warbles Neil Patrick Harris.
“We’ve nothing To (fear)," Franklin* feigns.
(And can verses
reveal whether nothing’s Unreal?
Nothing Ventured? Then how trace our gains?)
* President Roosevelt
There comes
easily nothing Worth (having).
There’s the nothing (for) Xmas (I’m getting).*
There’s the nothing Y'all (tell but the truth in a courtroom).
There’s Nothing Zac" (Brown’s band, I’m betting).
* Holiday pop classic "I'm Gettin' Nothin' for Xmas."
Nothings all. But
exist they instead of the somethings?
Whose research puts that to the test?
Besides, why is
there something instead of some nothing?
Tomorrow, perhaps, you'll have guessed.
(In the meantime, I'll give it a rest.)
