The Goldilocks Planet

Do you wonder about the sun ? Is it now running out of gas? What happens when it does, my friend? I will tell you of Earth's last pass Each minute of every day The Sun burns its gaseous core Billions of years it has done so There is perhaps a billion more Now, as the sun runs out of gas The size of the orb does expand And the edge of the sun creeps nearer The Earth - as the physics does demand We live in a "Goldilocks Space" It's not too cold and not too hot But as the Sun invades our niche It will get hotter than we've got Now this is fact, so listen well In due time the oceans will boil And all of our Earth will burn crisp No matter the worry and toil We will either leave or perish When Goldilocks no longer works When global warming is a fact And the ocean bubbles and perks It's human nature to worry And warming is a course to pursue Fight the greenhouse effect of course But we leave or die in round two 11-18-19 Contest: All About The Environment Sponsor: Richard Lamoureux

No need to worry. The ONE WHO set it up can adjust things as needed.

We might not be able to. We have no say.

The One Who Set It Up never promised we could stay on this planet forever

Thanks, Gregory...guess we could all go to Mars where there's no atmosphere to speak of. Poor choices
