Holism (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency)
Dirk woke up with a theory and a bruise
The universe said, Correlation, you lose
Every link he traced, every ghost he chased
Just earned him a slap right in the face
He asked the sofa why the cat was dead
Smack. That's causality, the sofa said
He tried to think about interconnectedness
The cosmos replied with open-palm aggressiveness
He said, But cause and effect—
WHACK. Wrong detect, detective.
Welcome to the planet where logic gets you slapped
Every holistic hunch, a cheekbone badly mapped
No clues, no crimes, no time to blink
Just a jazz-hand sting every time you think
Slap. Solve. Slap. Forget.
The universe is a drummer with no regret
He found a missing cat inside a missing sock
Thought about it twice—now his teeth are out of stock
He tried to not-think, but the not-thinking thought
Slap. Now his epistemology's distraught
A ghost walked in and ordered tea with cream
Dirk asked Why—the ghost just screamed
(slap)
What if every slap is a clue?
What if the bruise is the holistic view?
(slap)
Thank you, said Dirk, spitting out a tooth
That one actually proved my theory, forsooth.
Welcome to the planet where deduction gets you slapped
Every elegant inference, a dental impact
No clues, no crimes, no time to blink
Just a jazz-hand sting every time you think
Slap. Solve. Slap. Forget.
The universe is a drummer with no regret
Everything is connected…
(slap)
…including the slaps.
