Forty Pounds of Nothing
Amazing how heavy,
sometimes nothing can be,
I heard you say, "Oh, it's nothing!!"
But through this I can see,
If you put it in a bag,
and sat it on a scale,
you'd find 40 pounds of nothing,
has left it's gravitational tale
So, next time you say that you...
have nothing to me to say....
Weigh your words carefully,
you just might find out that they,
weigh 40 pounds of nothing,
and I'll tell you one thing more,
You're fooling less and less people
Of that you can be sure....
