One thousand radioactive monkeys, said the Soldier.
No army could defeat them.

Ten thousand, said the General,
and no army would even dare them.

One hundred thousand radioactive monkeys,

Two, said the Student. To compare one to the other,

Just one, said the Priest.
Simplicity in all things.

The Zen Master shook his head, saddened.
If the Idea of a radioactive monkey is insufficient,
he said, then even a million would not be enough.
