Dark Matter.
You know...
The physics phudge phactor
Conveniently used (by scientists)
When things in the universe
Don’t add up.
I wonder if I could use
Dark Matter
When things in MY universe
Don’t add up?
Like...
I’ve been trying for a while
To reconcile
My checkbook...
“Dark Matter -$5.39”
There!
Now it adds up!
I step onto the bathroom scale.
“Cookies + ice cream cone + barbecue...
Doesn’t add up to THAT much!
Must be Dark Matter-
The ethereal material
Is weighing me down.”
I pull in too close
To the right-hand garage wall.
Again.
My husband says,
“Your visual perception is out of whack.”
“No.” I say, “It’s Dark Matter.”
“It distorts garage gravity, you know.”
Ahh...
I think I’m catching on
To this fudge factor thing.
Just wait ‘till you see
How I use Dark Energy!
