The Metaphysics of My Muse

Metaphysics is - a division of philosophy that is concerned with
the fundamental nature of reality and being.
It includes ontology, cosmology, and often epistemology.

THE METAPHYSICS OF MY MUSE

While my muse dances a minuet,
She sings of doctors in trip-o-let
Her metaphysicians dress in white,
a bit off-key but the rhythm’s right.

Is ontology the medical term 
for that doctor who treat cancers?
fundamental, they find answers.

Is cosmology those whose focus
is working face, skin and hair beauty?
fixing nature’s flaws, their duty.

Is epistemology that surgical
procedure, an easy cut
for big baby’s head and butt.

Physicians, practicians my muse’s need
for good health and beauty indeed.
Metaphysicians cannot compare
when the body is her major care.

       METAPHYSICS EXPLAINED
 
Let’s be sure we have minds all set;
I got all this off the Internet 
Metaphysicians don’t dress in white
Hope I got the meanings right?

Ontology -  how metaphysicians
explain the univeral categories 
and relationships between entitites.

Cosmology –  a metaphysical
study of the origin, creation and growth
of the universe, but NOT how we knoweth..

Epistemology – metaphysics
theory of knowledge, think it through
how we come to learn what is true

Metaphysician, philosopher
The mind is that which they prefer
to explain the universe and being
admittedly with some disagreeing.

Author’s Notes:  With my apology to oncology, cosmetology, and episotomy.

I appreciate your positive words. Thanks, Ralph, unique, likely a lone example forever. Daring and barely read by anyone who really cares. A moment of fun. Stay safe, the end is near.
