Mystery Enough
Burning embers, star-lit rocks
Phantasmagoric shapes, unorthodox
Multi-ringed wonders, Neptune and Saturn
Gossamer circles, elliptical orbital patterns
Asteroids, meteorites whiz and hurtle by
Miniature marvels, dazzling gems on high
Take a deep breath, scan the whole galaxy
Luminiscent candles, jack-o-lantern fantasy
We've photographed the planets, measured them too
Taken their temperatures and broadcast the news
That they're four billion years old and began with a bang
But now there's the multiverse theory that recently sprang
Up, along with the oscillating universe hypotheses
By which several scientists swear that they trust
And if how it happened isn't mystery enough
Then there's the who-done-it of the who-did-it
~ Now that's really tough!
