On this day
it rained but was sunny
A small pawn shop closed in york
A man dropped his lunchbox from an unfinished skyscraper
Tennessee Williams took a walk ( a long walk)
The Aztecs struck oil and Cicero dropped his quill
People declared peace and the world ate its fill
On this day they shut down the earth
Swept up the stars and exiled the moon
and auctioned them off for all their worth
On this day we sold every star
except one
