"What you ask is impossible, my dear,
And useless, as I can show you from here!"
Vern sat across a game board from Olga
And produced his high tech "reverse auger,"
Which looked like a poke full of polished stones,
But Vern said was tuned to the undertone
Of the universe, borne on gravity
Waves that bear the code of its history
And which, by using Einstein's "fudge factor,"
Vern Archer was able to decipher.
"I can calculate godsown Book of Deeds;
Give me the Big Bang, I know where it leads!"
