The Kaku Meteor

Lo!
Professor Mike with his hair and cheatdeath smile
Did receive from the stars a missive
Did receive from the stars a missive
Received in thought what he had sought
That loss was not permitted.
That loss was not permitted.
The
sleeper then awoke inside
the mountcock built on science
"I
will make the jump to Kaku's rock
Therein is my defiance!"
The
Kaku atop his quantum sphere
beheld the mighty screams
and laughed
down through the mortal clouds
at the city filled with cream
at the city filled with cream
"Can
you uncoil the dimensional beast
Or bring the stars to you?
Your
world will be as dust to me
as Funyuns when you chew!"
Mike
stepped to Kaku and said,
"So you think you got us beat?
"So you think you got us beat?
Kaku laughed
as Mike looked for
some meteoric eats
some meteoric eats
The
Kaku staked Mike through and through
and saw that he was sly
he
brushed back his silvery hair and spoke then in his pride
"McKasty
if you want me gone
and you to be king of the world
Then ride my ship of eleven sails
I want them all unfurled"
and you to be king of the world
Then ride my ship of eleven sails
I want them all unfurled"
Mike
said not a word but smiled
Without nary a plan
He then put on his
buckyball shoes
and faced the wizened man
"Before
this shit gets live my friend
You've got us in a jam
But yo, hey
wait look over there."
With a dash Mike yelled out "BAM!"
And
Mike said One! For the width of it
Two! for the length of it
Three!
for the depth of my verse!
Four! as I step in time
Traversing with stupendous
rhymes
The other seven just get worse!
Kaku
held his hand
palm raised to stop McKasty's beats
palm raised to stop McKasty's beats
And laid his own
down on the boy
with buckyballin' feet
with buckyballin' feet
"You
may have a grasp of a physics
so I guess you know my show
so I guess you know my show
But the
watching isn't gonna stop this rock
from hitting down below
from hitting down below
You've
got a great style and look at that smile
not to mention you're a bit loquacious
but let's see if that physics slam of yours
can match my own equations
can match my own equations
From
earth could be heard a unison gasp
That resounded to Mike's core
That resounded to Mike's core
Then Kaku with his chalk in hand
Went to his blackened board
Went to his blackened board
He dropped derivatives balanced positives
With the
twinkling of his negative eye
He drew from sine riding parabolla
lines
That made the spheres cry
Mike
watched it all and threw his dice
At Kaku's square rooted "e"
At Kaku's square rooted "e"
Then laughed as what was now produced
A singularity
A singularity
The
laugher stopped when Kaku barked
"You fool! you've doomed them all!
"You fool! you've doomed them all!
The people screamed, Mike said "oh shit!"
But Kaku didn't fall
But Kaku didn't fall
He reached up as to pick some fruit
Or catch a bug in flight
And
squeezed the black hole in his palm
Til it blinked out of sight
Mike
looked around for what to do
His best tricks had been played
All
hope seemed lost the earth was doomed
Impossible for him to get laid
Just
then across the Kuiper belt
A sight they were to meet
A sight they were to meet
With
golden ships and crystal sails
Came the astro-elvish fleet
Came the astro-elvish fleet
Their captain An-El'dil'ian'fur
Caught Mike's befuddled gaze
Caught Mike's befuddled gaze
And tossed to him a scroll of math
That brought Earth back into play...
That brought Earth back into play...
To be continued next year...
Happy Birthday Mike!
