Damn Philosophy

"Life's much too short to last for long," If I could sing 'twould be my song, A tree that falls but no one hears? I'll bet some creature there has ears! A frog that jumps missed by a tree, 'Where sun don't shine,' (1) Philosophy! A cat is in a box that's locked, Atom's decay could mean it's clocked! (2) It might be dead but we can't see, Alive or dead a mystery! Which one is true, a quantum state, Observing just determines fate. Brian Johnston 9th June 2018 Poet's Notes: (1) 'Where sun don't shine' is slang "for up yours!" (2) To be "clocked' is to be hit in the head (or killed)!
