The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

THE EARTH IS FLAT - REALLY?

You say you think the earth is flat.
Please let me have your proof? 
When they fly to the moon and look back,
They can see for sure that it’s round.
But I forgot; that won’t convince you,
For space flight’s a conspiracy too.
So tell me, if the earth is flat,
What stops the oceans from running away?
If you walk to the edge, what keeps you safe?
Did somebody build a retaining wall?
No, science has proved you have it wrong
And though I don’t wish to cause offence,
When I think of your Flat Earth Society,
I have serious doubts about your sobriety.
