Odds On Favorite |
To make a long, long story terse |
Be it blessing, be it curse |
The Lord designed the universe |
With built in obsolescence |
Each twinkling little star and sun |
Enjoys its own atomic run |
Exploding when its time is done |
With cosmic incandescence |
Astronomers predict someday |
Our own sun will blaze away; |
They’ll be a glorious display |
Of sunburst helium masses |
Our little planet earth below |
Will join the pyrotechnic show |
With blazing hydrogen aglow |
And thermonuclear gasses |
Thank God this great combustion day |
Is several billion years away |
So as philosophers all say |
Why fret, why fume, why worry? |
A jillion moons will wane and wax |
Sit down, make out your income tax |
Enjoy your life, be calm, relax |
For God is in no hurry |
But, oh, my friends, I have a hunch |
Mankind might beat God to the punch |
