No, no, Nunette!

Nun raises the sun out of Huh, primordial chaos, creating the world


Chorus: No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, Nanette.—No, No, Nanette (1924)


The Greeks say Night, Nyx,

first brought forth Eros (sex).

Egypt, however, attributes the task

of awakening Huh's todger

to Nun, whose front-office better half,

Nunette, deals with the wada-wada.


But presently, it seems, some asteroid

afire or other will crash

on whatever's left by then to smash,

Huh sitting sous vide, the cosmic catch,

and many a such bootless planetoid

murmurating in the outer void.

We'll have to start from scratch

again. Nunette gets so annoyed!



Note: "Nun can be seen as the first of all the gods and the creator of reality and personification of the cosmos. . . . Nun's consort (or his female aspect) was the goddess Nunut or Naunet."—https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_(mythology)
