Flip Aside

Every thing was quiet and peaceful Before that crashing day A planet burst and left a space For life to form and play We gained a moon That pulled in tune With tide and winds and weather Then thunder rolled As lightning tolled A spark of life to grow That grew and changed and rearranged The world to fit her tether There’s them that fly and them that die and them that float and sink And after maybe half a while Or maybe past a wink In all the time it took to pile The explosion stopped to blink And someone stopped to think Progress ran her down At once Let’s have another drink
