YOU tell us in philosophy
That time does not exist,
That 'tis but a film of fancy,
A little mental mist.
And space -- why, space is nothing
More than mere mode of thought,
A sort of mental telescope
Our feeble minds have wrought.
Well, if that's true, Respected Sirs,
I'll breakfast at my ease,
And think myself in chapel
Just as often as you please.
