The world is full of outcomes
Each day delivers more
At breakfast time there’s only two
By lunchtime there are four.
By dinnertime there will be eight
At bedtime there’s sixteen;
So many, many outcomes and
I don’t know what they mean
And so we live our lives away
With outcomes big and small
Until the final outcome comes
With no outcome at all.
