Twinkle If You Must
TWINKLE IF YOU MUST
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
I know exactly what you are
Not really above the earth so high,
Diamond - no. Explosion in the sky.
Just let your matter gravitate
And your heat begins to fulminate
Heat and pressure soon go nuclear
Radiation reaches far and near
Your fuel burns and then creates
Other matter in other states
Sometimes now, your sheer size
Makes supernovas for our eyes
You end in darkness like a mole
Maybe becoming a black hole;
But twinkle there on high for me
Let me still your beauty see.
