I often wonder the etymology
of certain words, the reason
they were coined (not minted)
             so to speak.

Imagine a half crown, or better
still, a one pound note with the
Queen’s head on it, and under,
                 it read!

  I promise to pay the bearer
                Nought.

  See, I told you that I could
       write a poem about

              Nothing!

              Isn’t that

            Something

                   ?
