Mars And Jupiter In A Cup Poem by Patti Masterman

If all the creatures were enlightened
With a higher-ordered brain,
They'd always save- and never spend-
And in this way avoid pain.

If all the worlds aligned one night,
And all the words were added up,
I should have books inside my head-
And Mars and Jupiter in a cup.

If all the stars laid end to end-
A numbered puzzle to complete-
And I marked them with a pen,
They'd make a heaven there, complete.

If all the universe in god's eyes
Paraded for his royal view,
He'd watch them slowly orbit by-
The sum of all- for his review.
