Stephen Hawking's Brain

It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane It must be Stephen Hawking's brain! It’s big enough, it’s bold, it’s bright It’s hurtling across the night Towards an enigmatic hole It’s Stephen Hawking! Bless his soul The things that Stephen Hawking said Went flying right above my head The physics stuff, the quantum quips Equations, tricky little slips Of space and mass and gravity - All mystery and math to me And me and Hawking disagreed ‘The Bang!’ he said, I said ‘The Seed!’ And ‘God knows why or where or what!’ But he could prove stuff I could not So, hat doffed to a geezer who Knew more than just a thing or two It’s Stephen Hawking! In the sky! We watch his brain go flying by A shining star! A scientist! A twinkle-eyed ventriloquist! And gone. Into a massive hole Stephen Hawking. Rest his soul © Gail Foster 14th March 2018
