An Unknown puzzling thought
One must calibrate
Then measure and calculate
With answered questions
Be it right or be it wrong
It is answered in your mind
You do not think as others do
these questions belong to you
A gift given to your mind
You move and wonder
In your own time
Not belonging to others
When paths are crossed
Confusion sets in
A recalculation of time
Eyes with sounds of mystery
Encourages new calibrations
Transforming into history
With the future never appearing
This gift of the present
Only last until your time
Runs Out

Stars turn out in unknown numbers vast
Blanketed in a field of smokey mist
Who will count them but the children
Rolling across the greenery of hills
Falling off the cliff from infancy
Into infinity at the cost of babies ages
There is only one direction, up
Which is not too far from heaven
If you find it please inform us
We got lost between the covers of the night
When the compass brakes we still continue
Our lives become so low we rise
To carry out assignments in the sky
Stars show up to shower us with reason
Our accountants count on them at night
Calculators crunch the endless numbers
Grind to a stop when the lights go out

To go to something to forgo something is economics
Wealth to larger life to shorter isn’t in arithmetic!

Two billion cups a day we drink
To stay awake so we can think
Tireless workers - every nation
Need a caffeine drink equation
Lattes, mochas, cappuccinos
Our calculator super heroes
Measured, reasoned, wrote a theorem
Clockwork system - mighty fearsome
Divide the beans and add hot water
Multiplies the bean aroma
Takes away the taste chaotic
Get this right - it's sums and logic
China cups the theory goes
Helps the smell go up you nose
Cardboard mug with plastic roof
Not as good, but where's the proof?
But their reason's most disjoint
Like whole numbers - has no point
You just need a rule of thumb
QED for us dumb-dumbs

To stay awake so we can think
Tireless workers - every nation
Need a caffeine drink equation
Lattes, mochas, cappuccinos
Our calculator super heroes
Measured, reasoned, wrote a theorem
Clockwork system - mighty fearsome
No longer need barista instinct
Random variations extinct
Future bistros turn bizarre
Robots running coffee bars
Divide the beans and add hot water
Multiplies the bean aroma
Takes away the taste chaotic
Get this right - it's sums and logic
China cups the theory goes
Helps the smell go up you nose
Cardboard mug with plastic roof
Not as good, but where's the proof?
Coffee can't be served alone
You don't need maths - it's just well known
Donut, muffin you could try
Bagel, biscuit, slice of pi
But their reason's most disjoint
Like whole numbers - has no point
You just need a rule of thumb
QED for us dumb-dumbs
