Whether It Is Nobler

Tried to write something philosophical But the strain on my brain was immense Heard something whir then POP Thought to myself, “that can't be good” Felt fine otherwise But suddenly was able to complete Complex mathematical equations with ease Never ever been accused of being a genius before But all of a sudden I was able to figure out The meaning of life among other amazing feats Then a vision of my Mummy dear Who passed away in nineteen-seventy Reached out and patted me on the head And said, “I'm so proud of you, my son” “Was just talking to Albert Einstein yesterday And he told me they were preparing A special place of honour for you up here” Belted myself on the side of the head To make sure I wasn't dreaming I wasn't dreaming!!! Nearly swallowed my dentures Started coughing and sputtering and reciting “To be or not to be, that is the question” Now I know I've heard that somewhere before “Whether it is nobler...” Shakespeare perhaps Well to make a long story short When I return to the site Be prepared to greet a whole different Jack A much more sophisticated Jack One that will absolutely blow you away With his new found smarts One that you'll feel honoured to call a friend And if you believe all of this I have some valuable swamp land in Florida To offer you at a very good price!
