Half a hole

Filling in my tax declaration form on my computer at home

I wonder how they did it at the time when everything was made of stone

In those days people must have lived a life much more simple and sound

Newtons law of gravity, not even invented then, still kept them on the ground

For the common people a simple see-food diet it has been

They did just diet on whatever eatable thing they have seen

Fast food was anything that was too quick to catch

Today it is being served at drive throughs from a hatch

Time, deadlines and schedules had not been invented at that time

Today life is all about numbers, statistics and figures with a positive or negative sign

Science tells us true from false in a very formal way

Other than that is considered paranormal, they say

So, if a bumblebee buzzes around your head, don’t try to control

Science says that the Bumblebee cannot actually fly at all

Fortunetellers might tell you you are a lucky guy

Mathematicians can tell you exactly why

Then the odds to win the EuroMillions shall be one in 140 million

Really lucky is who gets hit by a falling satellite, the odds are one in a 100 billion

And even for our leisure time

Statistics comes in to shine

Because playing golf, for millions of people is the favorite past time under the sun

All holes on golf courses divided by the number of golfers make statistically half a hole for everyone

All those facts and figures we are being confronted with day by day

Can scare us or comfort us either way

That is why the best you can do

Do your own number crunching, then you know the result is meaningful and true

This is what I did myself, crunched some figures and came up with the astounding revelation

112 percent of Mankind cannot compute a simple percentage calculation……

Successfully sorted out this percentage issue there is now only one thing left on my list

This final thing that really bothers me now is: does half a hole really exist?
