The world spins,
Did you know?
The stars watch
As it goes.
A boy stood
On his toes
And he jumped
Off the globe
To see it
Twirl although
He thought it
Rather slow
So he dropped
Back below,
Stuck his hands
Down a hole
And gave it
Such a pull
That it whipped
Pole to pole
Like a top
Lightning thrown
That cracked back
For he owed
A twin spin
Of his own
That launched him
Like a goat
Up a peak
To its goal
Of never
Being low.
Now he spins,
Did you know?
Has a moon
Half aglow
And rain clouds
In a row.
The stars watch
As he goes –
A planet
With a soul.
