Sometime later
Man said,

"Behold, an Atom!"

And it came to pass that by splitting the Atom
Great energy could be made,
And even greater energy could be made
By smacking a few together,
So he did.
And Man said,

"Hmmm, this may not be so great."

And so there was
The Keeper of the Sacred Button.
And in the third generation
Of the mighty tribe
That rose from the sands
Of Los Alamos,
The Red Phone rang.
And the Keeper of the Sacred Button answered it,
And those who spoke asked of him,

"What is the air speed of an unleaden swallow?"

And the Keeper of the Sacred Button said,

"Hmmm, I don't know...."

And all life as it was,
was no more.
