I was in Wendy's. The hispanic thug-types were talking about after-market value on restored classic cars. The aging jock was talking about how disappointed he was that a radio show was using "untenable" assertations. The two high-school kids I couldn't hear very well, but they must have been talking about high-level math. What else could make kids want to kiss so much?
Also, I got Soul Calibre III for $18.
The world seems smarter than yesterday.
"What a Logical World"
I see trees of green... and chlorophyll too.
Creating our oxygen... from cast-off CO2.
and I think to myself,
"What a logical world!"
I see a sky of blue... from refracted rays.
A white sun red... through atmospheric haze.
And I think to myself,
"What a logical world!"
The colors of the rainbow... at 42 ascencion,
Are shining in the eyes... of those who pay attention.
I see friends shaking hands... bumpin' molecules.
They're really saying... "Physics rules!"
I hear babies cry... I watch them grow,
to full-sized youths... from a tiny embryo!
And I think to myself,
"What a logical world!"
(Synthesizer solo!!! Preeeeeow!)
The colors of the rainbow... at 42 ascencion,
Are shining in the eyes... of those who pay attention.
I see friends shaking hands... bumpin' molecules.
They're really saying... "Physics... rules."
The stars in the night... shining ten-thousand fold,
I gaze in awe... at light twelve thousand years old.
And I think to myself,
"That's twice as old as some misguided people think the planet is..."
And I think to myself,
"That's twice as old as some misguided people think the planet is..."
Ohhhhhh yeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...

Ha. Awesome.
You might appreciate this.
That was hysterical. Seriously, this is my favorite thing you've written. I haven't noticed this phenomenon.
Patrick: Read it already, thanks.
Mory: Glad you like it, but it makes me all sad to know you prefer my fifteen-minute filks to my four-hour analysi.
I know there's a weepy-face emoticon, but I don't know how to do it. :P
Hey, I dig the theory.
Hey, if you can do a four-hour analysis with style, I'll be all over it. :D
