There was once a man who said ‘God’

There was once a man who said ‘God

Must think it exceedingly odd

If he finds that this tree

Continues to be

When there’s no one about in the Quad.’

Ronald Arbuthnot Knox (1888-1957)

 

Dear Sir, Your astonishment’s odd:

I am always about in the Quad.

And that’s why the tree

Will continue to be,

Since observed by Yours faithfully, God.
