        JUST THINK OF IT                                                                                           CARP

Albert Einstein, or some such genius or other                                                               That old grey carp is looking at me.

once stated that no known force can exceed                                                                I wonder if it knows.......

the speed of light, and we now know that

it takes, for example, one billion years for light                                                                       (Knows what? See the book! GB)

to travel from one particular distant star

all the way here to our shining earthbound eyes.

But what happens, I wonder, when we consider

the speed of thought?.....                                     (Find out in the book itself! GB)
