A weird infinity

Sort of nonsense but there is a deep significance

If an infinite number of monkeys

Sat at an infinite number of keyboards pressing keys

An expert said in an infinite number of years

One of them would type the complete work of Shakespeare’s

 

There was something the expert missed

Maybe he had too much red wine and got pissed

All letters are not equally used, compare ‘e’ to ‘zee’

So if you are trying to type in monkey

 

By the law of mathematics; which does not like infinities

You cannot produce by random chance these little ditties

Mostly what you will find is total rubbish

And anything of sense will be in gibbonish.

Author's Note

Came into my head on the way home from a long day at the end of a long week, sorry for the insanity if you bothered to read this

love your take on this. nothing contrived about your writing, it is free flowing and honest.

Most of my poems have been written in less than five minutes, the short stories an hour, but the novel, that is a different story, thank you and you did identify that these words were no more than my thoughts
