Super-Poem

 

 

                Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane!

                   It’s Poetry!

          Yes, Poetry! Strange denizen of this strange planet,

                   Poetry possesses powers and abilities

                   far beyond those of mortal men.

          Poetry can change the course of mighty rivers,

                   and bend steel with the bare facts!

          Poetry is faster than a speeding bullet,

                   more powerful than a locomotive,

                   able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!

          Poetry fights a never-ending battle

                   for truth, justice and liberty;

          And best of all, Poetry

                   is disguised as a simple reporter.

      Gabriel Scandal Rocks Vatican, Mecca             Vatican City – Clerics worldwide have expressed shock and dismay at recent revelations that the Archangel Gabriel is personally responsible for instigating centuries of religious warfare between Christians and Moslems.           The Ayatollah Kahmonney said, “God is great, but if you can’t trust one of His angels, then whom can you trust? Who does Gabriel think he is?”           High Vatican officials agree. Cardinal Mausinker declared, “It’s an outrage. The entire human race has been misled, manipulated, divided and deceived by this so-called holy angel. We thought Gabriel was leading us onward, but instead he was just setting us up. I pray that God, in His wisdom, will note the fallen angel’s actions and take appropriate action.”     ...

Cat Waste Explained

       Cat Waste Explained   While cleaning out the litterbox, I asked myself; Why do cats shit?   The answer is, of course; Because you can’t unburn a candle. - that is, because entropy increases. But then this raises the question:   Why can’t you unburn a candle? Because tiny chaos always grows. - which explains entropy as molecular disorder. But then:   Why does tiny chaos always grow? Because later is likelier. - the thermodynamic arrow of time. But then:   Why is later likelier? Because the universe will expand forever. - which links thermodynamic and cosmological arrows. But then:   Why will the universe expand forever? Because far stars fall up. - which links the cosmological arrow to cosmic acceleration. But then:   Why do far stars fall up? Because vacuum sucks. - which links cosmic acceleration to dark energy. But then:   Why does vacuum suck? Becau...
