The sun ordered the earth
to stop going around it;
and the poor bewildered earth
did try to stop going around it,
but couldn’t last for long
without the sunlight
so hot and strong
and shining so bright.

The earth in darkness withered
And life did suffer and suffocate;
But the sun couldn’t be bothered
Nor wanted the earth to placate;
For the sun courted the moon
While the earth so loved the sun.
The sun did find out soon
That the moon was cold and no fun

The earth was full of life
Vibrant and a joy to behold
Inspite of all its strife
A place of happiness untold
While the moon was barren
Empty and always so cold
Beautiful but yet so uncarin’
Imprisoning the sun in its hold

The Sun did realize its mistake
And tried to make amends
The liberty of shining brightly it did take
Hoping the earth would just be friends
The Sun with its new found philosophy
Did burn so hot & bright
For the earth it was a catastrophe
As the heat did vanquish its might

The moon did soon turn jealous
Of the Sun so fickle at heart
Its love which had seemed so zealous
Was just plain artificial from the start
And so they move in eternal orbit
The sun, the moon & the earth
The firmament they jointly inhabit
Awaiting doomsday’s birth.
