Gravity

Have you ever wondered why.....

All the planets in space

Go round and round around each other

And not fly off in different ways?

Have you ever wondered why....

The ball you were holding in your hand

When thrown up towards the sky 

Took a U-turn back to land?

Have you ever wondered why....

With your feet firmly planted on the ground

You were not like a balloon

Floating amongst the mighty clouds?

Have you ever wondered why....

The waves of an ocean

Had a higher or lower reach

Depending on the moon's motion?

A genius, named Sir Isaac Newton

Once slept under an apple tree

He found the answer to all your questions

And thus discovered the Theory of Gravity!
