They say that before every step You take in life, You flick a mental coin Then go left or right Turn or keep straight on.
In your own universe you go left, Pop into a café, Go home and have a nap. Then carry on those humdrum days.
But that was close! So close that in an alternative realm You go right, Go into a shop, Buy a lottery ticket And Win Millions!
For every possibility, the scientists claim, Is played out In an Infinite Multiverse.
Somewhere you are King or Queen, And somewhere else you are about to be shot! Somewhere you are a fly Or a bear.
Somewhere my parents are still alive And everyone is free of ill. That tuneful Rainbow springs to mind. Maybe there’s even a Universe Where everyone is Immortal. Where God calls in for a cup of tea. And what we’ve read as fiction Is all true.
These possibilities are endless and My imagination strains to picture All that might just happen. Somewhere. We can but Hope.
