Bit of a Backchat Jangle

Let’s have a little causerie
On causation, shall we? Sure.
What’s causation, anyway,

And why should anyone care?
Well, you know, sometimes you make
Something happen. Make something

Happen? Well, of course. Actions
Have consequences, you know.
So, causation’s consequence?

Well, not really. Just because
Something follows, doesn’t mean
The first thing caused it, follow?

Not sure I do. What would make
A cause a cause for certain?
If something came from nothing,

You know, ex nihilo, out
Of the mind of God, the Prime
Mover. Really? From nothing?

Can’t we just say things happen
With some regularity?
No. Things are caused. Why? Because.
