Day the Earth Reversed

In the blink of an eye the earth reversed the sun rising in the west setting in the east gravity's pull suddenly lessened it's hold heavy things grow much lighter and floated Look up to the sky and see what I mean houses, cars animals and people flying water running uphill instead of down mighty oceans now the sky adorn All still just kept within earth's strati-fear beneath shines a land so strange empty lakes and ponds now up in the sky bewildered animals flying by, oh so high As the day grew slowly to its close gravity started to righten herself and things began to resettle themselves yet landing in totally different places The poles became hot lands of sunshine while the tropics were buried deep in snow oh what a pickle it all was the army striving to return things to normal but all in vain Mammoth rescues of creatures to their normal climes speed was all important before they perished to our credit most were rescued and re-homed our earth always mysterious is now reversed How will we cope in this new places well come back in a thousand years I suspect human nature will be unchanged still the same old BS run by the same morons

How creative, mesmerizing really, Shadow! I loved the passages about animals flying bewildered and the army trying to rescue species. Once the poles shift (and scientists say a shift is now underway), there will be no turning back. If the predictions are true, the North Pole will end up in Russia. Florida will have a cooler climate, but the Northern states will be glacial. Awesome!!! A fave for me. Love, Carolyn
