Do you sometimes use GPS
To navigate your flat world?
Did you ever wonder how all those satellites
Get around to the underside?
Do you use a flush toilet
Or a siphon?
See, fluids can sometimes run uphill.
Your “the Amazon River is flat” theory
Fails to hold water.
Did you ever consider an Antarctic cruise?
Did you ever want to sail around the South Pole?
You could look out for the ice-wall
That you think holds the oceans in.
Do you recognize a metaphor?
When the Bible talks about the
“Four corners of the Earth”,
It’s an idiom for distant lands,
Or is your world-view ‘square’?
Every other celestial body we can see is round.
Why should the Earth be so different?
Phases of the Moon,
Pictures of Earth taken by astronauts,
The “celestial spheres” really are spherical.
If you need a book to tell you what is real,
Try a physics book.
If you need a tool to discern what is right,
Try logic or experiment.
Try to see beyond the horizon.
If your world is really constricted
To what you can see from your limited view,
Then, perhaps, start walking.

Jesus Wearing Some Sandals
When we saw Jesus wearing His sandals,
Riding bicycle that did have long handles;
Trump lying;
Not buying;
Praying God save us from all the scandals.
And LSMFT. Lord save me from Trump
or Large Smells Means Flush Toilet.

President and Power
Never realized President had so much power,
Is being on a horrible ego trip hour by hour;
Has New York twang;
Hair orange like Tang;
Feels great while taking a Golden shower.
Let me guess. You are married to Hannah
and she has a hard heart and like Trump
not so smart which we knew from the start.

James Serious Mysterious Horn
Will jump into a gallon of Jimmy Fallon
any day.
