Quantum Physicists at a Bar discussing the Multiverse.

Post by indar » Sun Jun 11, 2023 12:31 pm

Everette: Pass the Fig Newtons would you Neils?
Eat enough of these and your girth will expand,
ha-ha
That'll get you noticed. So, Erwin, what's new with you?

Schrodinger: I'm absolutely on fire!
Have you read the thought
of the esteemed Doctor Seuss--his seminal work
The Cat in the Hat? Once you do, rest assured
the cat may/may not. 
Such rhythm, such rhyme!

Everette: There you go again, Win, with your either/or thinking.
There's no end to where that cat can end up.
Cats are like that and it's outdated thinking
to limit cats to nine lives. As a matter of fact,
as a fact of the matter, there might be
no end to the number of cats.

Schrodinger: Hold on there Hugh,
I must caution you against the danger
of splitting infinitives, that way lies madness.

Bar Tender*: Oh you guys, back in the day 
we applied verse
to a singularity, that is: one line
in poetic writing.
Now it refers to a group formerly known as stanzas.

Or you could call it the multiverse.

* I have paraphrased the words of the Bar Tender whose name is Wikipedia.

My neighbours must wonder why I'm laughing out loud at 11 pm.

A fine romp through language and concepts.

Multiverse indeed.

Maybe seminal instead of seminol?

I've been writing ever since I realised I could.  Storytelling since I started talking.  Poetry however comes and goes  ;-)

Thank you Gyppo. I didn't even check it because there's no doubt in my mind you can spell much better than I---You are my spell check!

Thank you AJ, yes, who would know better than poets? Glad to see you are sticking around after Fives. I had not written anything for quite a while but I'm trying to break loose of a general malaise and more specifically a comatose muse. So I'll keep posting just to keep on posting
