Nothing

I was shopping in my local store when I saw a square glass case, it had a price tag on it but was full of empty space. I spoke to the assistant who looked at it with pride, I said, it has a price tag but there is nothing inside. She said it's very special and of course you have to pay, you don't see many places with nothing on display. It seems to be quite popular you find it everywhere, even at the customs most have nothing to declare. You can find it in any shop if you have time to spare, there is always someone coming out saying they bought nothing there. Nothing is a funny thing it is not there at all, but countries go to war over nothing, as I recall. If you spend all your money you still have nothing left to show, and when you die you always take it with you when you go. To some it's a religion which really is quite clever, for when you come to think of it nothing lasts forever.
