Herky-Jerky

The world whirled by
  at a dizzying pace

as Herkimer watched
  from outer space

He saw it wobble
  on its axis
 
Then came up with
  a prophylaxis

When he returned
  he'd get right to work

and fix that wobble --
  "Thanks, Herk," we smirk

You've done it again, Gershon. This one brought a chuckle. Good luck to "Herk" in trying to right the wobble of this earth!

Maybe I should rename this one 'Herky-Jerky.' In fact, I think I shall. Thanks, gw
