had a wife but couldn't keep her
He put her in a pumpkin shell
there he kept her very well.

The Big Bang theory states that
the universe had a "start"
and further that this "start" was
so cataclysmic that it
is impossible to look
back beyond the Creation.
  (Theories and Jibber Jabber)
The first few minutes had the
Universe as a sort of
Quark Soup.
(you can take it or leave it)
then gravity
split off
 (but does it affect your heart?)
and around seven hundred
thousand years later, it cooled
enough to form hydrogen
(sigh)
With that, the Universe was
transparent to photons (light)
  (Does it teach you the meaning
of love? hate? envy? dreams? hope?
