"The stars are variable now"-
This understand we very well.
"But why?"- The question is .- "And how?".-
Evaluate their chang's we can?
I do not know. That's a problem.
You're in Odessa: this should help.
Explining Miras, Supernovae,
To binaries a link we send.
The stellar pair resembles human -
You must rotate there very fast.
Third body to create then sooner;
How long a transfer there lasts?
However, such a late discussion
I have to pause: there is a toast:
Let funds for stars and nuclear fusion
Will'll be of c'omparable costs!
