Yesterday (Ode to a black hole)
by Joel Gilmore
Sung to the tune of Yesterday by the Beatles
Yesterday,
That horizon seemed so far away!
Now it looks as though I’m here to stay…
Oh, I belive in yesterday.
Suddenly,
The whole sky is closing in on me!
And my time is running slowly
It’s general rel-a-tiv-ity
Why, I can’t cross back now I know
space-time has flipped.
Black holes really suck, and
I feel a little ji-i-i-ipped.
Yesterday,
My poor feet were not so far away,
Now they’re stretched out to infinity.
Now here’s that singularity.
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-SPLAT!
