Emulation

I can do that. Oh! Yes.

So can you.

We can do even better.

It's not so difficult.

I'd do it backwards,

Even with both feet in fetters.

I'll be your sounding board.

Bounce it off me.

Let's see if this dog will hunt.

Then we'll make copies;

A million or so.

We'll fake them out with a bunt.

Others will strain to be

Like you and me,

Aping our brilliance

And stealing our show.

But we have a secret confession to make;

Something they really don't have to know.

There really are no

New ideas in this world;

No secrets to steal from a friend.

It all ties together,

No one wins, no one loses.

It all evens out in the end.
