“Having solved all the major mathematical, physical, chemical, biological, sociological, philosophical, etymological, meteorological and psychological problems of the Universe except for his own, three times over, [Marvin] was severely stuck for something to do, and had taken up composing short dolorous ditties of no tone, or indeed tune.

Marvin droned,
Now the world has gone to bed,
Darkness won't engulf my head,
I can see in infrared,

Try to count electric sheep,
Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.”
