There was once a boy Of seven and a sixth Who had a IQ exceeding that Of Einsteins, Hawkins and the rest of the list.

He learned Chinese in 2 seconds flat And realised the meaning of life in a flash He calculated the possibility of light speed travel, And by the age of four had made blueprints for GM cattle.

He read phycology, Physiology, astronomy, Anatomy, theology and finally got bored.

He looked on bookshelf Creaking with the weight Of a thousand and one books All in a dreadful state.

He ran his fingers over their spines And stopped on the fattest one He realised he'd not read it He pulled it out from between 2 books and the cover said: 'Quantum Physics'

He read the books for hours on end, When an idea came to him He ramshackled together a time machine Out of 1000 tins

He went back to just before he'd learned How to build a time machine And had a quick talk to himself About impossibilities.

After exactly 3.4 minutes The boy realised how annoying he was And decided to take a book off the shelf To annoy his earlier self

He jumped back into his time machine And flew back to his time And read the title of the book he'd taken And the title read: 'Quantum Physics'

He flicked through the book To where he'd left off And realised the next chapter was named: 'Paradox'

He leafed through the pages Then looked up, resigned For he knew his fate In his heart and mind.

And he waited patiently As the black hole formed In the centre of his room.

Sucking in the universe Then sucking in itself Them exploding with a mighty bang To create a new universe in its place.

Now although this universe is exactly the same A 7 and a sixth year old boy Has exactly average intelligence And is right now playing with his toys.

So never mess with quantum physics 'Cus time and space are not idealistic But instead, relatively cruel.
