According to the monkey
typewriter theorem, (X) number
of monkeys pecking away on (Y)
number of typewriters at random
for (Z) amount of time could produce
the works of Shakespeare.

Mathematical studies and even
a few experiments (!) have concluded
that the statistical likelihood of this
is so infinitesimal as to be an essential
impossibility.

Unless, however, the power
of infinity were applied, in which
case a single monkey (or related primate)
could produce everything
ever written, past and future.

Despite the fact that infinity
is only a mathematical concept
(not a physical reality), it gives me
hope that I, with finite time
and a single laptop, could produce
a poem now and then.
