And your sweet seductive ray
Has been leading men astray
All these years, O little star!
Don't you know how bad you are?


Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the sky is blue,
Tell me what makes the ivy twine,
And I will tell thee why I love you.

Rayleigh diffusion makes the sky blue,
Auxins and tropisms make the ivy twine,
Gonads and hormones are why I love you.

The Olympic torch was born on the night
     That God said 'Let There Be Light'
He then engineered a manuever so weird
     That it caused the whole sky to go white -
He oxygenated the hydrogen!
     - and thus did water ensue,
Setting the atmospheric strage
     - from which to create me and you.
After he gave us the gift of life,
     He employed a most novel device -
He invented "degrees," so the water would freeze,
     And He created snow and ice!
Quite Willy-Nilly he made us all silly
     And gave us a frightful yen
T'ward the frostiest sorts of bone chilling sports
     - then exclaimed "Let The Games Begin."

Johnny Hart
