Atomyriades

Nature, it seems is the popular name
for milliards and milliards and milliards
of particles playing their infinite game
of billiards and billiards and billiards.

    Piet Hein, Mr Funny

    This is one of fellow AP writer MargaretG's favorite writers. Personally I think he's nuts, lol.

    But hey, he lived to be 91 years old, so I guess he had a right t be a little nutty. Soory.

    And yes, life is often random and seemingly like a game of pool. I think Piet ended up in the side pocket.

    I think he wrote one too many Grooks and woke up one day and said, "You know what Hun (speaking to his imaginary wife) I think I'll write something sort of stupid. He went into his office and this is what he wrote.

    Just being silly everyone...no harm meant.
