I Just Found Out
I just was told the world is round.
I’d have sworn that it was flat.
Is that why there are rolling meadows
and other sites like that?
When I roll from bed in morning,
could I roll on to Japan?
And is it round like a big ball
or like an oblong can?
You heard of folks going over edge.
There is no edge on a ball.
The fact that they can do it proves
the world’s flat after all.
I've tried to solve the enigma.
I’m not a lazy scholar.
I have deduced it is both round and flat,
just like a silver dollar.
