The Professor Turned To Me

The professor turned to me
       What is infinity?

     ‘Neither the stars in the sky
       nor the sand next the sea’
         thought me

     The answer, thus he:
       ‘Every thousand years
     a bird picks up a single 
       grain of sand, oh-so-wee’

     ‘And even that 
       'is not infinity'
         thus me

     ‘Jolly good!’ 
       chuckled he

It seems that for infinity, We have a like affinity. As a kid I asked my Dad, What’s infinity plus one? He looked at me and smiled, Said, what do you think, son?
