The Great Comet of 2013

The Great Comet of 2013 By Elton Camp Recently from the Oort Cloud it originated An astonishing show for the earth is slated And it should be arriving relatively soon With a brightness greater than the full moon If correctly astronomers the evidence do read The Hale-Bopp Comet of 1997 it’ll far exceed Comets were once viewed as a great mystery ISON may excel any in all of human history It may even arouse superstitious dread and fears Since it will be visible from both hemispheres Yet, astronomers cannot be certain of its fate As it nears the sun, it could even disintegrate A once-in-a-civilization’s lifetime it could be A possibility, but we’ll have to wait and see (Note: This is not to be confused with the much lesser comet that may appear in March of 2013. This, however, may become the “year of the comet.”)
