grayness

I was building castles out of writers' blocks just the other day-

And these castles were quite solid-built, and doubtless here to stay

But Doctor Stephen Hawking came to save me from a cold dark universe:

"Build your castles out of *nothing* and you'll find, you could do worse!"

My times have all been imaginary
Apparently
You believe in beginnings or in ends?
You want to see all the universe-
Curious?
Well, let's all hope you just find friends.

Sitting there, in your chair, mind on overdrive-
Doctor Hawking, you're amazing-
Though your thoughts are slightly crazing
But then that may be how you
stay alive.

Let us catalog, while I blog:
Hot and cold there are too many
Goldilocks, seems hardly any-
Is that Star Trek quite worth the slog?
To be clear, I'm all for looking-
But everywhere is cold or cooking.

Sitting there, in your chair, mind on overdrive-
Doctor Hawking, you're advising
That we all go Enterprising
But that we hide to
stay alive.

Those little green men, might be mean men:
With their advances, take no chances-
"Conquistador", need I say more?
Cut the chatter, what's the matter, then?
All the decades we've been sending-
And those signals won't be ending.

My times have all been imaginary
Apparently
You think this is closer to some "end"?
You want to see all the universe?
Curious!
Well, it just might not be your friend.

Sitting there, in your chair, mind on overdrive-
Doctor Hawking,
You're not rocking-
No,your mind is Mister Spocking-
But then that may be how you
stay alive.
