Round world

Someone once tried to tell me the world was round.
How ridiculous does that sound?

You can only guess
The terrible mess
A round world would create!

It wouldn’t be great!

A round world

Tiny Tim

Open the box to see what’s in
I think you’ll find it’s Tiny Tim.
“God bless us,
One and all”
A lovely thought, from one so small.

Out of sight
And out of mind
Why should we have to be so kind?

To feel compassion and empathy
Is not for Pixie and his tree!
It’s meant for Tim, and Tim alone
So watch the Lark, sat on his throne.

A spiteful lunge he will make

And the crutch it will break.
