To Infinity (not beyond)

Infinity is a concept
Of which I’m rather fond
But being as it’s quite so big –
I’m not sure I’ll go beyond

Yes, infinity is just the perfect amount of space
That I need to explore
And I’ll get to work exploring it
Once I’ve found the key to my front door.

About the Writer


Tom Owen

Tom is a barrister who likes to escape from his busy day job by writing songs and poetry for (and with) his two young boys. His poems focus on anything that can capture his boys’ imagination. So, knights, exotic animals and absurdist adventures feature heavily. It is his ambition to one day publish a book of children’s poetry.
