“The world is flat”, historians once said
“Don't go too far, you'll fall off the edge!”
“It's a long way down, that instant drop”
“And once you fall, you'll never stop”
The world is round, they've now discovered
Along with many things, left uncovered
Though gravity is present and holds you down
You still may fall and hit the ground
Though the ground may catch you, and cease your drop
It still may seem, that it never stops
Eventually, one day, you'll be in the right place
At the right time, seeing the right face
Gravity works for all the good
It's time to start falling, to be understood
The Earth is definitely round, after all
Why not let gravity help cease your fall?

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.
