Is This a Grook Or Not? (Nothing)

How can something come out from nothing
When nothing can come from nothing?
So nothing isn’t nothing when it results into something,
Because by then, it would’ve been something and not nothing,
Since something must always result from another thing, 
but never from nothing.
Because nothing is not anything and something is anything.
Nothing can never be something and something can never be nothing.
So what is this business of something coming from nothing?
Nothing…because there exists no such thing.


** 2000-- ummm I'm still trying to grasp this grook, haha
and my attempts at it are fizzling out so I'm going to be
sneaky and just submit this, lol 
please bear with me I have NO idea if this old write of mine 
can even classify as a grook! Sorry Charles...will still try to 
come up with something though...

Nikko I came back to see this. Sorry, I still liked the other one better. That is just me though. No wonder I hate Grooks if this is what people think a grook should be. . This one is too wordy. It was ok, but I LOVE The other one. Just sorry (now that I know what I know about this whole thing)! LUv, Andrea

nothing from nothing leaves nothing You gotta have something if ya wanna be with me. I am trying to remember the lyrics to that old song I think one of the Beatles sang it? I bet you are too young to ever have even heard it! well, this is SOMETHING out of nothing?? hahaha. Good luck, Nikko. A grook is a grook is a grook and by any other name is still a grook.

I don't know if it's a grook, Nikko, but it's very funny in one way and very insightful if you look at it from a different perspective. Perhaps the irony does qualify it as a grook. Best wishes in the contest. I had fun with the grook form too, but my poem was just four lines. Love, Carolyn
