Zero's Absolute Value
Should you see Zeroes on your posting spot,-
Stay without comment,- grieve not,- but rejoice!
It simply means you weigh an awful lot,
A heavy weight you are,- an “Avoirdupois!”
In zeros’ so mysterious fruitful womb,
So intact, virginal and promise- full,
Dwells sweetness, sweeter than the honeycomb,
And rich, felicitous is egg-shaped Null.
Replete with blessings is a Null or Zed,-
Look fondly on it on your posting space!
Bethink the excellence you’re looking at!.-
Beyond appraisal, be it blame or praise.
A thing of many-splendored mysteries.
Is Zero, Zilch, Null, Zed, - sweet and rotund,
Shrouded in silence of infinity,
Fame‘s harbinger- and oracle fecund.
Detached from comment frills - an Absolute,-
A lofty things is Null that makes no noise,
But keeps the scrolling readers stunned and mute,
Bewitched like Abelard and fair Heloise.
No hoist, no heavy jack nor strongest bull
can vie with Zero’s strength and equipoise,
Nor vanquish the pre-eminence of Null,-
Thus should it grace your posting spot - rejoice!
“Don’t tamper with a Null, for it bald”
Herodotus and Socrates had said,-
“Disciples if you have a Null - exult!
There is no need for combs for Null’s bald head!.
Wise Pytagoras too admonished men,
And his disciples in the lecture hall,
Spoke: “Values are derived from a brown hen,-
This is the law since man’s so saddening Fall!”.
Shield then the Zero-egg from chip or crack,-
(It may be broken into by a click)
And you be told and signaled “Crackerjack”-
You have been visited by faithful Mick!
