Everette: Pass the Fig Newtons would you Neils?
Eat enough of these and your girth will expand,
ha-ha
That'll get you noticed. So, Erwin, what's new with you?

Schrodinger: I'm absolutely on fire!
Have you read the thought
of the esteemed Doctor Seuss--his seminal work
The Cat in the Hat? Once you do, rest assured
the cat may/may not. 
Such rhythm, such rhyme!

Everette: There you go again, Win, with your either/or thinking.
There's no end to where that cat can end up.
Cats are like that and it's outdated thinking
to limit cats to nine lives. As a matter of fact,
as a fact of the matter, there might be
no end to the number of cats.

Schrodinger: Hold on there Hugh,
I must caution you against the danger
of splitting infinitives, that way lies madness.

Bar Tender*: Oh you guys, back in the day 
we applied verse
to a singularity, that is: one line
in poetic writing.
Now it refers to a group formerly known as stanzas.

Or you could call it the multiverse.

* I have paraphrased the words of the Bar Tender whose name is Wikipedia.
 

My neighbours must wonder why I'm laughing out loud at 11 pm.

A fine romp through language and concepts.

Multiverse indeed.

Maybe seminal instead of seminol?

Gyppo

Thank you Gyppo. I didn't even check it because there's no doubt in my mind you can spell much better than I---You are my spell check!

Wow, Linda.  great write - I can't stop laughing. Can that be the poetic multiverse?!?

Great to hear from you Gyppo, as well

Thank you AJ, yes, who would know better than poets? Glad to see you are sticking around after Fives. I had not written anything for quite a while but I'm trying to break loose of a general malaise and more specifically a comatose muse. So I'll keep posting just to keep on posting

Clever and comedic. The multiverse!
