Nothing is easy, you'll find
that the squeeze won't turn out so bad.
Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen than these,
there's good times to be had.
So if you're alone and you're down to the bone,
just give us a play.
You'll smile in a while and discover
that I'll get you happy my way --
nothing's easy.

Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you,
Not out of spite or anger
But simply because it's true.
Now, I hope you won't object to this,
Giving back all of what you owe,
The fewer words you have to waste on this,
The sooner you can go.

Nothing is better, nothing is best,
Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.

there is no such thing as nothing. even to think of the concept of nothing, is to make it something. nothing can't be observed without there being something (or someone) observing it. and what are they observing? something called nothing.

perhaps if you empied your pockets of all that is nothing,
you will have something that is anything,
anything that is everything
that will prevent you from stepping
on nothing.

Besides, even a vacuum has a livley population of exotic and high energy particles coming in and out of existence, and only rarely interacting with anything else in a significant fashion. Rather like GUEST in fact....
