Imagine there is some poor fool
With nothing else to do
But count the stars up in the sky
As each comes into view
To try to verify a number,
To validify the claim
That the universe is finite,
And no two stars are the same.
Even if a thousand fools count
For a thousand nights,
And never stop to bat an eye
Or count the same star twice,
The search would still continue
For an ending to their quest,
Leaving in frustration
Someone else to count the rest.
How many stars in the heavens?
No one will ever know.
The universe is infinite
To mortals here below.
