The World Is Flat

The world is flat
   and that is that

The sun revolves around the earth
   for what it's worth

Tobacco calms shaky nerves
   it's been observed

Don't ever tell your kids "No"
   if you want them unscarred to grow

Don't teach your kid a foreign language
   'cos at school he won't be able to manage
   
People once subscribed to all of the above
   'till 'new improved' theories gave them a shove

G'day Gershon … we have some politicians who still believe the world is flat. It's turned into an entitlement period, but the wheel never stops turning - can't agree with you more Gershon - Lindsay

Can't agree with me more? --- OK. Agree with me less perhaps. ~ Confused Earther

It seems to me that people are throwing as much good out as bad. It is more important to be 'woke' than right. Truly sad. Have a great day my friend.
