If there’s anything else at all without.

So I come at last to the plain conclusion,

When the subject is fairly set free from confusion,

That the universe simply centres in me,

And if I were not, then nothing would be.”

That minute, a shark who was strolling by,

Just gulped him down, in the twink of an eye;

And he died, with a few convulsive twists.

But, somehow, the universe still exists.
