Sonnet to the Universe

Mike Berger, PhD

The idea is absurd and totally perverse;
having 14 lines to describe the universe.

Tomes a foot thick had failed the task;
14 lines is simply a ludicrous laugh.

Where to start? With quarks and work down,
or with a electrons spinning round and round.

Did the universe started as the head of a pin?
Have cosmologist imbibed into much gin?

We should all shrivel, baked by the sun
if the cosmological constant is less than one.

Are the multitude of stars simply God’s toys,
or sand tossed in the air by peevish boys?

I must end this poem; I’ve run out of rhyme,
besides, I’ve used up all my lines.
