Ockhams Razor
I'm sure the world has ended
at least in that part of town
at the very least an avalanche
has brought everything down
maybe the sky has fallen
or a volcano has blown it's stack
all the souls have been devoured
by a ravishing wild wolf pack
a sudden catastrophic earthquake
has shaken the ground apart
that must be what has happened
the seismic waves right off the chart
maybe it's the warming effect
that has caused the oceans to heave
and everyone is on an ark
they suddenly had to leave
the answer must be simple
why she no longer calls my name instead
should I use the Ockham's razor
and shave the truth right off my head

A rule in science and philosophy stating that entities should not be multiplied needlessly. This rule is interpreted to mean that the simplest of two or more competing theories is preferable and that an explanation for unknown phenomena should first be attempted in terms of what is already known. Occam's razor is named after the deviser of the rule, English philosopher and theologian William of Ockham (1285?-1349?).
