The Earth

ü    People to think

ü    The Earth was flat

ü    Like a

ü    And before they’d go

ü    To the edge

ü    They’d

ü    But Columbus he’d set sail

ü    He wasn’t at all

ü    And he found

ü    It was just

ü    A BIG BALL

☼ The Earth is a sphere

☼ From the upper atmosphere

☼ Right down to the central core

☼ And, what is more

☼ The surface is a crust

☼ Of tectonic plates

☼ That move around and cause

☼ Tremors and earthquakes

ü    People used to

ü    Of a fire pit called

ü    their feet

ü    With brimstone smell

ü    Now we say it is

ü    Down below

ü    That erupts as lava

ü    Through

☼ The Earth is a sphere

☼ From the upper atmosphere

☼ Right down to the central core

☼ And, what is more

☼ The surface is a crust

☼ Of tectonic plates

☼ That move around and cause

☼ Tremors and earthquakes

☼ And if you want to be

☼ Strictly logical

☼ You’ll say

☼ These facts are

☼ Simply geological

ü    Once the Earth was  to be

ü    A stationary boulder

ü      on ATLAS’S

ü    Giant shoulder

ü    But now we know

ü    It’s

ü    Round like a top

ü    And  the sun

ü    Which is far and doesn’t drop

☼ The Earth is a sphere

☼ From the upper atmosphere

☼ Right down to the central core

☼ And, what is more

☼ The surface is a crust

☼ Of tectonic plates

☼ That move around and cause

☼ Tremors and earthquakes

☼ And if you want to be

☼   Strictly logical

☼ You’ll say

☼ These facts are

☼ Simply geological

☼ The Earth is a sphere
