I know the meaning of 42,
Do you want to know too,
The answer lies in computer code,
Let us set it now to ASCII mode.
An asterisk is the key,
A variable it is, wild and free,
Make of it what you will,
Anything to seal the deal.
How to find an asterisk in ASCII,
You need to look no further than 42,
Deep Thought answered the only way it could,
Deep Thought answered as a computer would.
To a computer life is a variable, an asterisk, a wildcard,
42 means life is what you make of it, a concept not so hard.
