Romsey Watts Fine-Turns the Universe

Romsey Watts Fine-Turns the Universe
Romsey Watts could fine-tune any vehicle
From a Ford transit van to nearly dead Vauxhall Viva
Didn’t matter the condition, he’d get them to start
By tinkling with the engine, adding some oil,
Tapping the starter, changing the old battery,
Adjusting the alternator, they would in the end
Always move in a most mysterious way.
He had the knack, and it seemed he did the same
For the Universe, getting from an incredibly
Large number of atoms down to the present
August arrangent of Life, which seems to be
Rather clever, eminent physicists called in
Think so, but they do not like the comparison
Between the Vauxhall Viva and the Universe.
Nor the Christians care for the binary Watts
And God, however you see R.G. Collingwood
Got it right – what we are dealing with is
An absolute presupposition
Namely that outside the ken of humanity
I know that both the Vauxhall Viva and all
The known permutations in the Universe
Are fine-tuned by the human mind – which
Though Resourceful, has its limits
Ones that even a grasshopper can leave
Behind.
