God to Berkeley,
There was a young man who said "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
If he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no one about in the Quad."
"Dear Sir, your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the Quad
And that's why this tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by Yours faithfully, God."

Bishop Berkeley
Whispered darkly:
"If I don't see you,
You don't be you."
Amazing what the mind retains from 40 year old history of philosophy classes (a.k.a. "histaphil") in which one wasn't paying all that much attention to start with.
Cheers,
-John-
'histaphil'
sounds like a think you take for allegies.
