Strange New Doings

Strange new things afoot in the world

new and inconceivable imaginings

even doings taking place right here

right now in the very same world

I inhabit in this very same time.

Delightful plots and schemes unfold

in the brains of jolly scientists who

seem to believe that anything they

dream up could be possible after all

and who go about proving it

with great aplomb while I gape

astonished.
